Keep backing the right horse
SOMETIMES the underdog wins, and it is an inspiration for all of us. With the long-odds Rich Strike winning the 148th Kentucky Derby, we see a winner for the rest of us. Perhaps we should look for the long shots that we all need: a cure for Covid, peace in Ukraine, honest politicians, and in general a better life for all – but they are probably at longer odds than the horse. Keep fighting for the good things because eventually we will all win, despite the odds.
