The Game of Life

After we are born we each learn to play the game of life. As we are socialized to accept the traditions of society, we develop certain beliefs, prejudices, and views of the world, learning to be concerned only for our own survival, rather than worrying about others.

To protect ourselves and prove our superiority we may do or say harmful things to prove our dominance. We believe we win the game when we demonstrate our authority over others. This game, created by the ego, our self-centered beliefs, is the cause of many man- made problems and harmful emotions experienced throughout the world.

In truth, there are no winners in this game; only losers. To end the game, we must accept the loving selfless path of the spirit, present within every life, realizing we were never better or more important than anyone else. Only by truly accepting this, selflessly helping all others in their life’s journey, will the game of life end, and the true meaning of our existence finally be understood.
