G is for Game

Life is rather like a game of Snakes & Ladders don't you think? You'll be strolling along just fine when wham, out of nowhere you're hurtling down the back of a giant snake.Then there are the smaller snakes which amount to the more minor setbacks but depending which one you've been unlucky enough to land on depends on how long it takes to pick yourself up and start again. And you have no choice but to do that - to keep rolling the dice and keep plodding on forward. The flipside of course is that out of seemingly nowhere you can find a ladder and before you know it you are right back up there again, and it may even be that if you had not fallen down that giant snake in the first place you would never have fallen into the path of the ladders that are now open to you. And to add to the complexity of it all we are all inter-mingled with everyone else who is involved in their own similar yet very different complicated game and how they roll their dice can have a profound effect on how we roll ours.

 

Blimey, that was all a bit deep for a Monday evening :-$
