Life is a Game

I wrote this "diary" entry almost 2 years ago. After randomly coming across it I realize that nearly 2 years later I still feel the same way. I'm still playing the same game, I'm fairly sure I'll always be playing this game but maybe that's what life is about, finding joy in the most mediocre of games.

Life is merely a game, the question is just which game are you playing.

Recently i was thinking about life. Not in a bad way or a good way, i was just thinking about how many people in this world choose to live. Quite honestly after a week of thought followed by an unforeseen discussion on the subject I've come to the conclusion that life is a game. A game of strategy. You see its all about making the right moves selecting the path you will take considering your opponents moves and then making a choice based on your gut instincts. I think often times many people don't take it too seriously, they play a game of candy land and see the world through rose colored glasses. Other times people play battleship just trying to bring other people down. The games people chose to base their lives on are endless, but personally i chose to play a simple game of chutes and ladders. I roll the dice and make a move i climb up and up only to (unexpectedly) fall down and make my way back up again. I know it sounds juvenile but just take some time to consider your own life, what game you're playing, and what game you should be be playing.

Well that's it, I hope I've given you something to think about. Feel free to comment below.
