There is this theory. Given an infinite univers and infinite time... all things will happen. That means that every event is inevitable including those that are impossible.
This is a story of an ordinary little boy... named Charlie Bucket. He was not faster or stronger or more clever than other children. His family was not rich or powerful or well-connected. In fact, they barely had enough to eat. Charlie Bucket was the luckiest boy in the entire world. He just didn't know it yet.
Now this was an embarrassing position for Tom to be in. But Chris had to respect the fact that he was holding what appeared to be a pair of loaded shotguns. And Tom had to respect the fact that they were not loaded. So, without anybody losing too much face... Tom left through a side door, and Chris left with the money. And everybody else got arrested.
Ed has been playing cards since he could lift 'em up. And he soon discovered that he had a big advantage. It's not that he's good with cards, or even good at counting them. It's that he's good with reading people's reactions no matter how subtle. And everybody has reactions. Especially when it comes to money.
The two had been close since college and shared the same tastes and opinions on most matters. Yet when it came to the subject of love, it would be hard to find two more dissimilar viewpoints. Vicky had no tolerance for pain and no lust for combat. She was grounded and realistic. Her requirements in a man were seriousness and stability. She had become engaged to Doug because he was decent and successful... and understood the beauty of commitment. Cristina, on the other hand, expected something very different out of love. She reluctantly accepted
suffering as an inevitable component of deep passion... and was resigned to putting her feelings at risk. If you asked what she was gambling
her emotions on to win, she would have been unable to say. She knew what she didn't want, however. And that was exactly what Vicky valued above all else.
Nearly a thousand years later, peace in the Kingdom of Heaven remains elusive.
