The 50 Percent Theory of Life[00:00:16]

I believe in the 50 percent theory[00:00:17]

Half the time things are better than normal[00:00:18]

The other half they re worse[00:00:23]

I believe life is a pendulum swing[00:00:24]

It takes time and experience to understand what normal is[00:00:25]

And that gives me the perspective to deal with the surprises of the future[00:00:29]

Let 's benchmark the parameters：yes I will die[00:00:32]

I 've dealt with the deaths of both parents[00:00:33]

A best friend a beloved boss and cherished pets[00:00:34]

Some of these deaths have been violent before my eyes[00:00:36]

Or slow and agonizing Bad stuff[00:00:38]

And it belongs at the bottom of the scale[00:00:40]

Then there are those high points：[00:00:45]

Romance and marriage to the right person[00:00:46]

Having a child and doing those Dad things like coaching my son 's baseball team[00:00:47]

Paddling around the creek in the boat while he 's swimming with the dogs[00:00:52]

Discovering his compassion so deep it manifests even in his kindness to snails[00:00:56]

His imagination so vivid he builds a spaceship from a scattered pile of Legos[00:01:00]

But there is a vast meadow of life in the middle[00:01:12]

Where the bad and the good flip flop acrobatically[00:01:15]

This is what convinces me to believe in the 50 percent theory[00:01:20]

One spring I planted corn too early in a bottomland so flood prone that neighbors laughed[00:01:26]

I felt chagrined at the wasted effort[00:01:33]

Summer turned brutalthe worst heat wave and drought in my lifetime[00:01:34]

The air conditioned died the well went dry[00:01:40]

The marriage ended the job lost the money gone[00:01:42]

I was living lyrics from a country tunemusic I loathed[00:01:45]

Only a surging Kansas City Royals team buoyed my spirits[00:01:48]

Looking back on that horrible summer[00:01:49]

I soon understood that all succeeding good things merely offset the bad[00:01:51]

Worse than normal wouldn 't last long I am owed and savor the halcyon times[00:01:56]

The reinvigorate me for the next nasty surprise and offer assurance that can thrive[00:02:01]

The 50 percent theory even helps me see hope beyond my Royals 'recent slump[00:02:11]

A field of struggling rookies sown so that some year soon we can reap an October harvest[00:02:15]

For that on blistering summer the ground moisture was just right[00:02:22]

Planting early allowed pollination before heat withered the tops[00:02:25]

And the lack of rain spared the standing corn from floods[00:02:29]

That winter my crib overflowed with cornfat[00:02:30]

Healthy three to a stalk ears filled with kernels from heel to tipwhile my neighbors '[00:02:32]

Fields yielded only brown empty husks[00:02:34]

Although plantings past may have fallen below the 50 percent expectation[00:02:37]

And they probably will again in the future[00:02:44]

I am still sustained by the crop that flourishes during the drought[00:02:48]
