My favourite person has always told me that life is a dance, not a game. I've never really taken time to think about this statement; now, I have. All it took was to differentiate a dance from a game.
When you're playing a game, you're in a competition. You want to win your opponent. It might be a playful game, but the goal is to win. It might be with your brother, but the goal is to win.
When you're doing a dance, it is for fun. It is for pleasure. You're thrilled. You're enjoying it. You feel alive. Dancing has a rhythm and you follow the rhythm. If you dance out of rhythm, people might think you're crazy.
People who see life as a game want to impress; they do the standard. People who see life as a dance thrash the normal; they stand out.
When you're doing a dance, it's artistic. It makes you creative. Any wrong step, you fall and you might break any bone in your body.
When you're playing a game, you try by all means to win. It's attack, attack and attack. All you do is attack till you're declared the winner.
Games everywhere. Politics. Business. Love. Games everywhere. Some of us don't know what to believe anymore, even when the truth is staring us right in our faces.
How do you live your life? What is life to you? Is it a dance or a game? Until you answer these questions, you're yet to discover your purpose on earth.
