The Games of Life
by jpbradshawHow much of our life, is in our control? Can you play your cards right to meet and make the ‘right’ friends, life style and relationships…
How much of our life, is in our control? Can you play your cards right to meet and make the ‘right’ friends, life style and relationships? Is it a 2 way street? Can you press the right buttons to make sure you get out on the right level? Can you correct your mistakes? And if not, can you chance it to see if you can reclaim what you once had? I have 2 examples of the gambles we take in our lives, one where I feel like i won and one where I feel like I lost. Lets start with the ‘winning’ part. A guy named, well lets call him Parker used to have a crush on me. At a very young age, I was quite shy and didn’t get the whole relationship thing, so I decided it wasn’t for me. Parker was a nice guy, we got along quite well, had the same friends, interesting, intellectual and fun to talk to. But what can I say? If you’re not ‘ready’ you’re not ready. Needless to say a great guy like that soon moved onto another girl. She was much different to me, but still a very nice person. I use Parker as an example because of the game of ‘chance’ I took with him as well as the type of person he is. / When I first knew him he was a relatively normal, quirky and nameless, A LOT like myself. Through the friends he ‘chose’ to make, the girl he dated and style of life he pursued he soon became a very popular guy in my school. In a matter of months. It was an amazing transformation, from someone I once thought was my equal now became too ‘cool’ for me to speak to. But hey, that’s life and you do what you feel is right, no harboring resentment, but he had changed. But en-light of all this I always felt bad for him, cause if was as if he was in a pair of really expensive shoes that he didn’t like. He always wanted these shoes and he did everything in his power to get them, but once he got them he realized that he was uncomfortable in them. But to give them up would be foolish because he had done everything he could to get the shoes. He couldn’t give them up, so he continued the facade that the expensive shoes were the best things he ever got, but every now and then he just wanted to take them off. / Back to my relationship with Parker. So Parker starts to date Stephanie, who is your straight arrow. But since Parker is reputed he must live up to this expectation, he SIMPLY MUST. Stephanie loves Parker, Parker doesn’t know what he wants, he wants to stay reputed. What’s the easiest way for a guy to live up to his reputation? Well in the most un-evolved way, the bedroom. But this isn’t just with Stephanie, series of break ups, make ups and lots of tears have their bedroom stories shared with more people than I assume Stephanie would ever want to know. Now, this drama of a relationship has lasted 5 years. And I ask myself, if the young me had been a little less shy, would I be Stephanie? / Our seemingly insignificant choices have amazing outcomes, they also, I believe anyway effect more than ourselves. Would we be who we are today if instead of ‘no’ we said ‘yes’? Can one choice really change 5 days, 5 months of 5 years? My friends are very important to me. While I am autonomous with most of my decisions in life, I love to bitch, discuss and gossip. How much influence can you have over your friends? Where is that fine line between helpful guidance or deliberate conditioning that we impose on them? Someone who I consider was once a very close friend, one of my best friends, would make a series of decisions that were on a different path to me. Whether they were wrong or right is subjective, she is a good person, with a kind heart. While we once had the same dreams and aspirations, she soon had different views, her choices lead her to a life in which I feel she is not fulfilling her full potential. / I ask, should I have done more to help? OR is she just different? After all we all are unique in our choices and opinions, it is our right to and it is what is so diverse about the human race. If I had told her to be more like me [assuming that my decisions are ‘right’], would that be guidance or just not accepting the person she wants to be? / Time has gone by and I have lost my best friend, I rarely speak to her and only ever do it electronically. It dissapoints me that we no longer talk, but it hurts that I lost such a good friend. I’m ranting a bit now. Back to my original point. Can I un-rip the piece of of ripped cloth? Maybe I can just sew it back up? It’s not the same, but still useful. How much control do I have over that needle? After all string is needed, skill and the understanding that the cloth is mend-able but extremely delicate. How much control do we have over our lives? We can only make friends with people willing to receive our friendship. After all the person that we are, is the image that we project and that projection is determined by others. If we can control who we are, is that enough to be at the ‘point’ in life that we want to be at? Or does it require the right friends, partner and lifestyle, at which requires more than what we just project but how we play our cards and what we say ‘yes’ and ‘no’ to.

Buzz (left) & Cougar are both strong-willed geldings, here still testing each other out to determine who is #1 in the paddock. In the end, Buzz won the dominance game, but when he was moved from the property Cougar stepped up to the plate – right up until my new girl Rosie moved in. Office politics have got nothing on horse hierarchies!

There are large forces that block our path. / Fading the clarity of our future. / Forcing us to forget our dreams. / We are all Pawns in this world. / Surrounded by giant Bishops, Knights, and Kings. / Don’t do it. / Don’t give in. / In this world, a single Pawn can triumph over the Giants. / And claim his own kingdom.
