The drum keeps beating

E+R=O is more than universal. It’s constant, unending, and unsympathetic. In a word, E+R=O is relentless.

It never stops. It doesn’t take days off. It doesn’t take even one moment off. You might, but it doesn’t. E+R=O is the relentless drumbeat on the soundtrack of life.

E … R … O … E … R … O.

Not a single moment exists outside the cause & effect order of E+R=O. It’s the last thing you do when you fall asleep and the first thing you do when you wake up.

Think about that. Don’t hurry past that sentence and miss the significance of what it means. Every moment, for the rest of your life, is an E+R=O moment.

The drum keeps beating.
E … R … O … E … R … O.

It doesn’t care about the success or failure of your last effort, or whether you just experienced the best or worst events of your life. It doesn’t care if you’ve exhausted yourself with a series of heroic responses or cowardly ones.

The drum keeps beating.
E … R … O … E … R … O.

This moment is an E+R=O moment. And the next. And the next. And the next. No break. No relief. No safe space to escape the relentless standard. You understand that or you don’t. E+R=O doesn’t care.

The drum keeps beating.
E … R … O … E … R … O.

E+R=O was the fabric of reality long before you and I were here. It doesn’t exist in a world we run. We exist in a world run by E+R=O.

E … R … O … E … R … O.

Event + Response = Outcome. Do the work.
