Playing a crooked game

Do you remember when you and all your friends were equal? When it did not matter what kind of family they came from or how smart they were?  Is almost unreal to think of how much we all change. For the majority, there values change and suddenly wealth becomes the measure of happiness, and obsession is the only way to obtain this wealth. For others freedom is the measure of happiness and rebellion is the measure of freedom.

People have begun to see fame and fortune as the only way to be moral person, with looking down on others being a requirement for fame. Deep down they might know just how idiotic they are being by sacrificing any shred of common sense they have left for pleasure or pocket change, but in our game of like life it is never good to put your faith in others notions of morality and integrity.

Well who is to say who is right and who is wrong? In short form the truth is we all suck at life. There is no one correct way to live it, but I believe there are wrong ways to go about your daily business. In a game like life each player is already bound to lose at some point, the only question is when will you lose and how much will you have to let go of. This is where everything gets tricky. In a just game those with the most should be the most afraid whilst those with less have less to worry about, but that scenario is almost never the case. Those with fullest pockets figure out ways to evade the traps and pitfalls and leave their fellow man with fallout of their wicked evasion.

In a system like that who would ever choose to have less? The problem with our society is that it evolved around this scenario, those with more always have less to worry about and cheat the game while honest John and Jane Does have to suffer. Now do not get me wrong if you are someone born into more and someone who worked for their keep then it is not your fault the world lines up in your favor, but keep in mind that we are all still playing a game where those who slip up get swallowed up by land sharks.

In this game there are times when the losing players are giving miraculous chances at a better life, but never for free. This is a game where handouts do not equate to happiness. The only way to stop this game from playing you is to stick to your own plan, not let anyone mess with your pieces, and come to see the difference between winning the game and surviving it.
