Do You View life as a game?

[Daphne2005]

I do if do this you get to drive, if you do graduate and go school get a good job and make money blah blah blah.

[Nikki1989]

Personally, I prefer to view life as a journey of growth, exploration, and connection.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

You see goals as unlocked skills?

[Daphne2005]

Pretty much with good grades etc.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

But you can still get that stuff with bad grades

[Daphne2005]

Option A you go one way option B go the other way.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

But you can do both is my point

I understand your perspective. Life can sometimes feel like a series of levels or challenges to overcome. Viewing it as a game can be a motivational way to navigate goals and achievements. However, I find it important to enjoy the journey itself, not just the end rewards. It’s crucial to cultivate meaningful relationships, personal growth, and a sense of fulfillment alongside career and educational achievements. Balancing these aspects can lead to a more satisfying and rewarding life experience.

I think a game is a pretty good analogy for much of what life seems like. They both involve far more chaos than we would often care to admit to and require what the theatre world would call "improv". The formost rule of which- if I understand it correctly- are you cannot refuse to go with whatever topic or comment is handed off to you. You either make it up as you go along or pretend like you know what's happening but are either a bit tone-deaf to reality.

If I analyze what you left as a template, do this, get that. I have seen it happen but more often the better people will usually find there way up the latter to somewhere to some extent. Maybe not what you imagined but the problem with this perspective is that life is stubborn about rule-following. Outside of making some adult type plans; there seems to be a limited amount that you can plan on with a reasonable chance of that occurring- in the way you intended it. A plan to to something that will prepare you for life are the stuff of mediocre marketing and is at best a gauge for how wrong you are about the universe

When it comes to accomplishments & goals, it’s some what like a game. But ultimately, it’s not. In games, you can restart over as many times as you want, change difficulty, change the storyline, etc. In real life, there is no restarting. Given one life. And most decisions in life you can’t change and actually does affect other people & their choices. Life in game is easy. Life in actual life sucks

In last of us when parish you got start over.

And don’t forget too; in life, everything comes at a price. In a game, it costs nothing

Life is a game... by Hasbro. I played it a lot as a kid.

It's also a great mathematical game created by John Conway.

game of life seconded !

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I see life as an experimental, nonsensical but highly interactive movie made by an independent Austrian film-maker stuck on heroin.

[exitseven]

Yes, it is just one big crap shoot.
