BIGOT-JOHNSON : THE BRUTAL TRUTH
Have you ever wondered why others get what they want out of bridge.......be it glory, fame, status, money, successful careers, wisdom of the gods.........while you get nothing........destined to remain a no-hoper, a miserable failure, a regular no-goodnik ? Have you ?
Well, thousands upon thousands of you miserable no-goodniks have written to this blog's editorial team begging for help.......beseeching us to provide them with an endless supply of informative articles which offer guidance, instruction, and hundreds of helpful suggestions........but to what meaningful purpose ? Phrases like "pissing against the wind" and " flogging a dead horse " immediately come to mind. Yes, Rebecca and Johnny know that even as gifted teachers they can not convert numbskulls with cows' ears into silk purse players. Miracle makers they are not. So get real and face the facts. We have all been selected to play certain roles in this world of bridge, and your destiny was perhaps to remain faceless, anonymous non-entities........like the extras needed in a Ben Hur movie.
But please don't despair. You are valued. The game needs you as much as it needs the big celebrities. Remember it's you who help make up the numbers......it's you who provide the funds for big money prizes......and it's you who like fish in the barrel are there to be shot at. So forget any notions of getting more out of bridge. Just simply rejoice in what you have actually contributed to the game . Be happy in the knowledge that others welcome your presence. Wanting more out of the game is an impossible quest, which can only lead to heart-ache and pain. I and many others want you to stay as you are.......because for us there are huge benefits to be gained from preserving the status quo.
