“Tic… Toc”… “Tic… Toc”…The small ball was bouncing over the tiny net between the two players on the different sides of the table… the life’s table… Players change every while… The ball too… and sometimes the table itself changes… But the game remains the same… Rules stay unchanged… sometimes manipulated… or bypassed… sometimes players switch places… while the game continues… Words and feelings keep crossing the table between players, actions keep being exchanged… the ball which is thrown today will return tomorrow carrying replies and reactions to the hit it received from the other side of the table… from the opponent player… Sometimes a group of players consist a team… sometimes each plays alone… But always, there is someone on the other side… someone to throw and someone to reply back... Life never gives without taking. You have to give in order to take… don’t expect to receive without giving… Life is a Ping Pong game.

I don't agree with you that life never gives without taking. Some are born to give and some are born to take. Don't expect to take when give, You are not the referee and rules are not that simple.
It is the game when you think that you are winning, It will be the time to lose. Whatever points you have scored you will lose it. You don't have to win all you games, but at least you have to choose them. Maybe shouldn't play alone in this game. You should be part of a team. Being part of a team makes you stronger. Your team will hold your hands and help you to get up when you lose. At the end, the result won't matter. As they say "Life is a time to grow a soul".
Every relationship is a ping-pong game. Nobody should expect to receive the ball if he can't hit it. It's not only about sending the ball, the ball speed, direction and timing should be suitable to the other player or he won't be able to receive.
Sometimes we try more than once to play with someone correctly, but sometimes we don't even try to play with somebody else and we didn’t feel like to try. The best player to play with is the team player, he is always on the same side of the table with you, and if you missed a ball he will catch it on behalf of you to allow the game to continue, He could expect your actions, reaction and even your faults. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to find such a player.
Notes:
-If you send a ball and didn’t receive it, don’t panic, you have just gained a point over the other player.
-Please refer to source of the blog Idea :P
By the Ping Pong game rules, I would like to thank Khazendar for inspiring me to write this blog :)
I wish you it was that simple, but I can think of at least a dozen of people I know who took possession of nice physical/logical privileges without having to give anything in exchange.
But that does not mean life's not fair. Actually to the contrast of that, without getting too much metaphysical, I just think it's a matter of complex timing of occurences.
Khazendar, sometimes when you send a ball and didn’t receive it you have to panic, because you send it the wrong way and it is a point to the opponent. Maybe you should know the rules before insipring the blog :p.
Sorry, but how this image was created?!
The lower racket cannot be a reflected view of the upper one, notice the ball.
What you think?
Is not life itself a gift? one which we receive in the beginnning....
I enjoyed reading your posts- they have an echo of a distant dream....
or you keep giving all the way long, and you discover that nothing is given backward!
Good post indeed! However, as long as you see greater satisfaction in giving than in receiving and enjoying giving itself, you need not worry receiving from somebody, as you are receiving satisfaction while giving itself. What more one should expect to receive? You will indeed receive more when you don't expect. On the other hand, one might only receive more dispappoinment when something is expected in return. Let us keep giving to the world the best we have to offer....
