You are given two hands in your life.
Each has a set of cards.
You start and play one hand,
at once.
One palm exposed.
That’s your finity.
You play the other hand over time.
New cards get added to that hand, sometimes.
Time is the deck on the table.
If you lay the second hand fully,
then you have two palms exposed.
The second palm is forever.
So, you get one finity and one forever,
in life.
Your forever is the most valuable,
while valued only within finity.
Forever palm gives finity palm value,
urgency,
finity palm gives forever palm value,
limitation.
