The rule of three (the second time, or two out of three)

 



A few days ago, I wrote about the Rule of three for writers. (The use of three characters or 

situations to enhance or balance a story…..The Three Pigs, the three (picky) bears in Goldie

 Locks etc.  

I like to think the writer Ray Bradbury hit it directly when he create Spock, Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy. 

Sock is almost devoid of any emotion. McCoy is made up of too much emotion which is why he and Spock can never get along. In the middle, we have Captain Kirk, the balance. He can show great passion (You won’t take my ship!) or a cold command (I’ve given you an order, Scotie)  

Here’s a better example with a life lesson tossed in.

Life is about balance. Be kind but don’t be a pushover. Trust others but don’t get conned. Be content but never stop improving yourself.
