What about other kinds of experiences that "wonderfully concentrate the
mind" - danger experiences, penniless experiences, etc., etc.? I reckon
all such experiences are opportunities to some degree: one has a choice
at these junctures. Either one tries one's strategy from the past (and
that* might* work just fine), or one could try a *new* strategy, jump
out of the system, so to speak.
