The game of life is an interest and challenging game
one in which you never know how it will end, but you know it will.
It can be played with a combination of
feelings, ideas, goals, attitudes, thoughts… you can give it your all
or give it very little, or somewhere in between.
The outcome of how you will play it is unknown, you can play it well or not, either way, it can change faster than a blink of an eye in a direction you never expected or for which you desired.
Some sail smoothly through it,
Some have faith with amazing endurance and grace,
Some have a rough go and come through with an abundance of joy, others kick and scream and rarely see beauty. Some ask questions, others accept, some see God, some see darkness, others just let it be.
The game is for the living.
It is for the brave, the weak, the rich, the poor, the happy and the sad.
Some see the end as a stepping stone to somewhere better, others don't see it that way at all.

Please follow the link above. I found this very interesting and beautiful, her message resonates with what I have felt in my darkest moments: With the death of my boyfriend, having ovarian cancer, my father's death… It made me cry as I felt an understanding seldom expressed by those who have not lived or held darkness in their hands. I would like your opinion, your thoughts.
Yann disagrees somewhat to her opinion, he thinks if you do something good then good comes back to you such as if you smile at someone smiles back if you throw mud at someone the person will probably act not favorably. I hear what he is saying, we can choose how we act or react in our lives. though when I asked what he thought about bad things happening to good people? Yann questions, "What is bad?" I was nearly crazy trying to understand what he was saying, he said why to label good and bad instead see them as lessons from which to learn and grow. I get that but smiling and having someone smile back is one thing, having something "bad" happen and seeing it as a lesson? In the end, we understood we choose to step forward and live our lives faithfully to love, we might not get it right, we have and will fall short but in the end, what matters to us is that we live it well for the sake of Love and Goodness and Light and not for a reward here now or later.
