He seethed with jealousy when he saw his classmates sail around the sidewalks 'no hands,' and even felt a pang of shame when he saw little girls riding their pink bikes to school, without training wheels. When his father and he passed a boy, only a little older than himself, riding the same type of simple blue dirt bike the father had purchased for his son, the child felt as if he had been stabbed through the heart. Clearly, he lacked some critical, innate sense of balance, some physical intelligence that others seemed to possess. Before, he had though the bicycle bought for him was cursed. Confronted with the evidence that others could ride upon it, the boy understood he had been born under an unlucky bicycle star. "I'm a retard," he told himself.
One night, while he was tucked under the covers in bed, the boy came to a solution: if he could not learn how to ride the bike and intuit the mysterious ability to do so, the bike would have to go.

"Really?" said the boy.
"Yeah. Grandma and Grandpop were very overprotective. I love cycling so much, I wanted to give you the gift of riding a bicycle as soon as possible."
The boy's heart swelled. He knew now, no matter what might happen, he would never be replaced. The bike was something to be conquered, not something his father loved more than himself.

The Lord will lead one to safety always. One can simply believe in something higher to get the meaning of this; it doesn't have to be Jesus. Psalm 127, contrarily is confusing because it states that unless the Lord builds the house, it is built in vain. This seems to be more literal, but I do get the idea. Unless the people building the house are doing it with
Genetics Option 3: Darwin's Perspective According to Darwin, the survival of a species is determined by the degree of strength of its members.
