For some people life is a game
A competitive sport
where when someone wins
it means that someone loses
And the only way
to determine the winner
is by keeping score
For me life is more of an adventure
full of experiences
Some more pleasant
some less pleasant
Sometimes you take the right road
and other days you choose unwisely
You get lost, lose a bunch of your time
and never end up where you meant to.
In the end, however,
neither paradigm really matters
if you forget that nearly everyone
is trying to do the best they can in life
To impose a judgment
on any circumstance
always misses the point
For there is always something
that eludes our understanding
It is impossible to know everything
about anything or anyone
So why try?
