The Game O Life
The Game of Life

My way, or theory of how to win the game of life.. May not be the most moral of deeds. But I believe when done right, with the helping hand of manipulation, deceiving, and using trust & support against them at the right moment – that is one great way to get far in life. For myself personally, if you are in my way to get where I want my future to be, my future family and friends I will go right over you in order to secure my life. One man from history, that we’ve recently talked about that I can see doing this was Louis XIV – though he did do lots of wrongs such as doing so many things that angered people and not doing things in a subtle and discrete way. I believe that man is a free-for-all type of race in the sense when it comes to the secure future they can see in their path if they were to put the work into it, maybe not in times of distress and yearning though. Those who are in the way will just get trampled over, life is brutish and short. You must be the alpha male if you want to live the life you hear so much about winning or seeing others live wishing you were in their shoes.

I really do believe that its human nature to want to succeed your bloodline, your genes for the future generations of your tree to continue. Though it may need to be brutish and emotionless to your fellow man, it’s all in our instinct to be the best and surpass one another in order for your genes to thrive. It may be human nature to connect with one another and try to help each other, but in times where one can see the future in their hands – they will do anything it takes to grip it firmly in their hands and theirs only. The world isn’t a fine and dandy place from what I’ve heard, so why should I sacrifice my future for people I will never meet again and will triumph over them?

Now for trust and support that humans tend to rely on, for my theory I believe these are things you can use against someone to be able to get closer to your dream life. All you

    There are things more important than your own life is that all people will be affected by the causes you are willing to die for. There was once a young man, and his mother, who were visiting New York City. As they traveled by subway, a gang of men climbed on board. This throng of men approached the mother and began to harass her. The young man, who quickly realized the intentions, separated his mother from the crowd. He was all that stood between the group of men and his mother. As they attempted to move him away, he stood firm. Facing the crowd with defiance his eyes glanced a small reflection, but before he could react he was stabbed. Bleeding to death, he remained vigilant in his protection of his mother, but couldn't save his own life. News of this boys heroic quickly spread throughout the nation, and an amazing thing began to happen. Teenagers and parents met on equal ground, and the understanding that there was a mutual love towards one another blossomed. The boy's death stood for much more than just his life, or his mother's. His death signified a cease fire, a treaty of sorts between generations. His sacrifice was that bridge that spanned the gap between the mother and son that had been formed. With a single teenage boys thoughtful act of giving, he had changed the minds, and ideas of many around the nation. He had sealed his cause with his blood, in the same way that Martin Luther King Jr., John Proctor, and Abraham Lincoln had. When a person is willing to give away his life for the ideals that he stands for, they make a deep and lasting impression on all who here his story.…

    As the 14th Dalai Lama wrote in his book Beyond Religion: Ethics for a Whole World, ¨Recognizing our shared humanity and our biological nature as beings whose happiness is dependent on others, we learn to open our hearts, and in doing so we gain a sense of purpose and connection with those around us¨ (H.H. Dalai Lama 73). Thus, when one performs an act that opens his heart and connects him to the world around him, he is sharing his humanity. People must understand the necessity of shared humanity in their lives because the aspects it encompasses are what distinguish them as human beings. In Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck demonstrates the validity of humans being able to share their humanity through love and sacrifice.…

    Survivors of tragedies are often attacked by the media for saving themselves instead of the others. They say that if there is a chance to save them, it’s well worth it to risk your own life to try and save others, even if there is a low possibility of either of your surviving. To some, that belief makes sense. But to others, it’s seen as adding salt to the wound, where the survivor already feels internal guilt. Though saving others is the moral thing to do, in trying times, survival is not selfish. In high-stress environments, people may not know how to react, giving one and whoever they are trying to save added difficulty in their survival. Self- preservation is also an instinct. Instincts are uncontrollable, and therefore should not be shamed…

    Before I begin my exposition, I want to take a moment to quote the wise King Solomon’s book of Ecclesiastes, whereupon he has written, “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” Indeed, everything that man sought throughout history has been but one vain attempt after another to satisfy our lust, our wish to conquer and own everything. This fool’s wish hath bent man into a crooked being, to the point of forcefully enlisting the aid of unwilling others to achieve this impossible goal. One of those among the unwilling was in life my grandfather.…

    The only things that human beings need to survive in this world are: food, shelter, and relationships. Humans by nature cannot successfully exist on their own, for that reason they are instinctively inclined to crave relationships with others. Whether a relationship be romantic or strictly platonic, it is crucial that one develop a proper foundation before trusting wholeheartedly. The foundation of a relationship, much like any other type of foundation, protects it from threatening outside forces, such as people with malicious intentions, or simply the trials of life in general. There are a myriad of useful qualities that can make up said foundation, however, several important examples are: knowledge of a partner’s character, open communication…

    Trust is one of those things that are nice to have, but really is not needed. The statement “It is impossible to go through life without trust” by Graham Greene, may not be entirely correct. Our group disagrees with the statement. There are many times that trust just is not an option. A Streetcar Named Desire and The Crucible are a very good example of how an individual could be lacking trust.…
