Life is a zero-sum game

Life is a zero-sum game. It is a closed loop, a circle, a Ferris wheel, a see-saw in that something comes down for anything that goes up and of course the reverse follows through. Like time repeating itself on the limited tablets of space, life follows the locus of a closed yet an extremely intricate loop and it does so in a system of perfect efficiency. In this system there is no loss of energy due to friction because friction itself is defined as an input that influences the outcome, so nothing really leaves the loop. Only transformation takes place; birth leads to death and death to birth or to put it more commonly: controlled change defines life. It is controlled because everything adds up to a definite total although that total may be vastly beyond human comprehension and so for the sake of simplicity it is termed as infinite. Though these unimaginably humongous number of variables permutate on an equally unimaginable humongous scale and leave the human brain addled just conceiving the possible limits of the physical universe, yet they are quantifiable. At a certain level it is almost like an energy play where energy flows and transforms itself into a myriad manifestations. Newtonian physics proclaims that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. And even quantum physics in effect corroborates it in its claim that E is equal to m times c squared. In religious or spiritual parlance this principle is stated as the law of Karma: As ye sow, so shall ye reap. What goes around comes around. There are no free lunches. All these statements can only be true in a closed system for open systems do not allow for such definiteness as proclaimed by these axioms.
