Is life a lie? What if we compare it to chess?

Ladies ... Gentlemen ... I have for all of you a great secret that will surely change the way you see the world forever. I have discovered that life ... IT'S A LIE!

Yes sirs! And I have the kindness and the need to express it here and now. For many it will be nothing new. The most veteran and well-versed must have already smelled it for a long time. And perhaps, the youngest and novices are catching on now. But don't worry. The universe runs its course and you are still alive ... for now.

And before continuing, so that you do not get frustrated as soon as you start, look at this video. I explain everything to you much better.

They have always drawn life to us as something "just". Ask, it will be given to you. Fulfill your dreams. Do what you want to be ... Do these phrases sound like something to you? Yes of course! You've been listening to them since you were in kindergarten. And when you get a little older, you start to realize that you have flaws and limitations. What to do what you always wanted ... it turns out that it can't be. Or we will not always have a fair treatment of all people. Or not everything generates a reward.

Then come the frustrations, the losses of direction, the abandonments and the hopelessness. It may be more or less serious. But history repeats itself over and over again. We have all suffered it at some time in life. How do we learn then? Well ... Good. I have discovered that life is a lie. But I have not discovered the remedy.

I am not a great sage, nor a connoisseur of the secrets of the universe. I am not even a guru or spirit guide. But still, I do have a very concrete vision of what life is like. Do you want me to share it? Surely yes. You would have already closed this tab a while ago if you weren't interested.

Life is like a game of chess.

Think about it and you will find the logic. We are talking about a game that has remained unchanged in its rules and game modes for generations. A game which has been played by kings, warriors and commoners, and they have all started and ended on the same level. A balanced game, where the secret is to know perfectly the rules, movements, and strategies. This is how we think life should be: Balanced. But is everything really balanced in the game? Keep in mind that the first thing that breaks that balance is that the white moves first.

As in life, you must know how to move. The pieces on the board are not randomly distributed. Each one has its own specific movements. If you try to violate that rule ... Good. They disqualify or correct you. You have freedom, but you cannot do what you want.

In addition, each piece has its own teaching:

  • Be like a horseback riding and violates straight lines. Sometimes it is better to jump over an obstacle and move in a different way.
  • Do you feel like a Pawn? What are you only to get in the way, or to get trampled on? Maybe that's how we all start in life. But with a little patience and moving forward little by little, perhaps we can do great things.
  • On the contrary, do you feel so important that you don't know where to move? Like a Queen what do you want to protect? Well, know that sooner rather than later, you will feel cornered.
  • Your greatest strength, perhaps sometimes it becomes your worst weakness. If you are like a ReyAs soon as adversity overtakes you, you will have been defeated. It wouldn't hurt to turn your worst flaw into a good virtue, and castling in a desperate situation and be solid as a Torre.

And so it is. Take care of your movements, and you will achieve success. The great achievements of our life do not always come as a product of great capabilities, but of the combination of small limitations. Learn well about your pieces, move around the board and play the best game of your life.

    An example and a correct philosophy, to which it should be added that the end of the game depends on the beginning… .as well as in one's own life
