Life's game
by Nowfredo Paglinawan
Life is a gamble isn’t it? There are times that we
feel victorious and oftentimes living in a lost fortune of our own ontology. We
are facilely deceived by fabricated ideas and manipulated by false perspective.
We commit mistakes accidentally but we are judged harshly by unpublished
stories of societies.
Sometimes, what we see are falsified of and what we
believe in seems to be a fictional fairy tale. Our stories only become credible
when our readers are on the same shoes of ours. Some might be convinced but
others refuse. Anybody can judge and see the fallacy of your story but not
everyone will understand the moral of your story.
Thus, life’s game does not end when no one believes
and reads your story because our life is unpredictable. Therefore, we should
not be frightened to keep writing our own magical story. Everyone is an author,
we have our own unique genres worthy to work with among all other fictions.
We face different battles in life everyday. Our
victory depends on how we combat every battle along the risky way.
Living in a world full of standards is certainly
elusive to blend and fit into everyone’s expectations. We can never publish our
worth reading stories if we keep on comparing ourselves to what society has
labelled us to be. We can never win the life’s game when we remain subservient
with somebody’s standards. We can never be the character we desire to be if we stay
along the shadow of failures.
Amidst life’s trials and failures, do not be afraid
to gamble despite the uncertainties of triumph. In order to win life’s game and
hurdle all the obstacles, we must focus on our own goals and plans. No matter
how many times we feel lost if we know ourselves better than anyone else, no
weapons can destroy our stories. Keep believing in yourself because that is the
secret of every life’s game.
