Life is all about playing it right

in #story7 years ago

This is my life


I could not sleep all night so I jumped on my Honda for the last time . The road was empty , I accelerated to 210 mph.
I drove into the void. It felt like in a dream until I noticed that my luck was changing. All the lights were red. It did not stopped me , I squeezed the last drop of gas while the engine screamed. Behind me the blue light were approaching, while the local police cope had to drop his donats and start chasing me. It came from nowhere , a big silver truck. It was my end , time stopped while my thin body crashed against the front glass. Game over for me.

There are mornings which I wake up and this giant question embarce me into her womb, what is the purpose for of all this ? This philosophical question with no apperent answer. I think that we all think about this at some point in our life.
Each one of us have his precious flitting moments that make it worth. I love those moments but even better, I like to imagine my life as a video game.
Hi, my name is Daniel and I encourage you to join me and imagine life as a video game

Childhood

Real life is the game that literally everyone is playing. But sometimes it can be tough. The first 15 years or so in life are just tutorial missions, which sucks. There’s no way to skip these. You have to learn Who you are, Which class you belong to.
As a young player, you’ll have lots of time and energy, but almost no experience. You’ll find most things like the best jobs, possessions and partners are locked until you get some experience.
This is the time to level up your skills quickly. You will never have so much time and energy again.
Now that you’re playing properly, your top priority is to assign your time as well as possible. Every single thing you do affects your state and your skills.

Young adult


When you become young adult you have to do your choices the right tasks at the right time is most of the game. Some tasks mostly affect your state.
You need to put time into things that ensure a healthy state like food and sleep to keep your willpower high. And then you need to develop your skills with what you have left.
Some skills are more valuable than others. Good ones can open up whole paths.

Now it’s your time. You know the rules, what next?
You have to find a partner that help you continue the game.
There is a complex mini game in itself, but mostly a byproduct of how you’re already playing. If you have excellent state and high skills, you’re far more attractive already. A tired, irritable, unskilled player is not appealing, and probably shouldn’t be looking for a partner.
Later in the game you’ll have to manage a new resource called ‘money’. Most players will find money increases throughout the early game, but that this actually introduces more problems, not less. The most important rule of money is never to borrow it, except for things that earn you more back. For example, education or a mortgage can be worthwhile (but are not necessarily so, depending on the education or the mortgage). Borrowing to buy new shoes or nice car is not the best choice. You have to decide what is your priority.

Old Player


Your options change as the game progresses. Marriage and children will reduce your time and energy, and introduce more random elements into the game. This makes it harder to develop yourself as quickly as you may like.
Older characters usually have more skills, resources and experience, unlocking quests that were previously impossible, like “owning a house, or writing about your life.
All players die after about 80 years. If your stats and skills are good, you might last a little longer. There is no cheat code to extend this.
At the start of the game, you had no control over who you are or your environment. By the end of the game that becomes true again. Your past decisions drastically shape where you end up, and if you’re happy, healthy, fulfilled or not in your final days there’s far less you can do about it.
That’s why your strategy is important. Because by the time most of us have figured life out, we’ve used up too much of the best parts.

So I am playing the game of life, hopefully it will last more than I can imagine. I don't know whats lay ahead but i'll do my best to gain some score. what about you ? Can you see it as a game? or is it too detached from reality right now? Please let me know. Maybe we can share a mini adventure on my next blog.
