The Game of Life
Created | Updated Mar 8, 2005
Every person born plays the game of life and it ends the same way for everyone, in death. You may die from illness, old age, or accident but you are still dead. How do you know then if you played the game of life successfully? Did you win or did you lose? I don’t think anyone can really answer those questions but here is my theory. I believe that you have won the game of life by two main things. The things tat make a successful life are the legacy you leave and who remembers you.
Your Legacy
The word legacy literally means to be left by previous generations. The strongest legacy someone can leave is his or her memory. Leaving a legacy is I feel the most important because otherwise no one would be able to remember you. The strength of your legacy lies not in numbers but how the people that remember you remember you. Your legacy can only be as strong as you were when you were alive.
Who Remembers You
It is not how many people remember you but who remembers you. If you have one hundred people that remember you but none of them care then your legacy is weak and you play the game of life wrong. But if anybody that remembers you cares for you then your legacy is strong. It takes only one person to make a strong legacy. These are the people that have your soul watching over them and taking care of them.
People say they never want to bury their children but I believe you always do. When you die I believe you are reunited with everyone from the past. When you are buried I believe that you are at the funeral with everyone that you touched that passed away before you. Therefore if your parents are deceased then they are there with you and they and you help bury your body on Earth. I believe that also with you is G-D and that he at every funeral because we are all his children and even the weakest legacy has some strength because G-D remembers them.
To Win The Game Of Life
Therefore to win the game of life you must create ties here on Earth that will bond you to people forever. The stronger the bond the stronger your legacy will be and then you will win the game of life. You do not have to be a movie star or find a cure for aliment you just have to touch someone enough for him or her to remember you. It only takes one person to win the game and you achieve that by creating a strong legacy.
