27.09.2011 - 07h30 - Life is like a game of Snakes and Ladders


Yip, it's that time of year again. It's the day before my birthday which makes me start to ponder over the meaning of life (real deep). So... this morning on the way to work I came up with this analogy on life... LIFE IS LIKE A GAME OF SNAKES AND LADDERS (which if you google it you'll see isn't too original) - but Ethan liked the idea - I even got a high five for my cleverness so there...

You're born... you start to take your first steps - there's some great times (playing with your friends, birthdays, Christmas, family holidays) - but there are also some bad times (loosing friends, getting bullied at school, parents splitting up, going through puberty, discovering unrequited love) - and this never changes - the ups and downs go on your entire life but just in different ways (you fall in love, you have children, you get divorced, you're broke) but that's just part of the game. The only way you win is if you get to the end of the game without becoming a drug addict / alcoholic / committing suicide - EASY! - just make it there in one piece!
