Life Is A Game

Life is like a game only more complex and with a lot more participants! When you and your friends play games you have certain rules that you agree to follow in order to decide who wins and on what terms they win. The rules also define the game; if you change a rule it will be a different game. This is interesting because life also consists of rules both explicit and implicit.

Do you like the game you are playing? If not, then play another game and set new rules! Just make sure the game has other players or it will become tedious. Playing alone is not fun. Do you like the life you are living? If not, then change your life by taking part in a social context (game) that appeals to your rules of life. Maybe it is time to change your rules?

If you want something in life, e.g. a job, you need to learn the rules that people at that specific workplace have agreed on. Even if you have better rules, you still have to learn the existing rules in order to be accepted. When you have learned the rules, people will trust you and you can suggest a change of the rules. But if you do not accept the rules from the beginning then you will not be allowed to take part.
