The Game

No, not that stupid game where if you think about it, you lose. No, this game is something much more serious, the "game of love", to be cliche. Honestly, I've never believed in the whole gamplaying thing... we're almost adults, why are we still playing games? But isn't EVERYTHING a game? Or is it only a game because we've turned it into a game?

Now that I'm older, and have more experience and have seen the way things work, I actually do believe that this entire life that we live, as far as interacting with other human beings, is a game. There's no way to change it. I don't think that's the way it should be, but what does that matter, in the scheme of things? It doesn't, so there's that.

But now we're left to this game, where no one knows the rules except those who claim that they know the rules, and write books to give advice to us poor misinformed people. Forget that! No one knows, and no one ever will. This is mostly a game of chance, not strategy. Sure, you can strategize to flirt with someone, to feed them your attention for a little while, then pull away, then feed back into them, to keep them guessing, but its only a CHANCE that the other person will buy into it, and stay once you appear to have lost interest.

Why does it have to be a game? Why can't we all just live, and see where life goes? Sure, I guess that could get boring... but so many hearts would be saved that way.
