The Great Game of Life

All natural cycles are perfectly organized: think of the alternation of seasons, of the cycle of birth – life – death, of the functioning of the human bodies. The difference between the functioning of Nature and of the Mind is that the latter has a “Will”, while the rest of creation only follows the “Rule” established at the moment of its manifestation. Can this be a satisfying answer to those who wonder about the “bad” things that happen to mankind? If you accept the hypothesis that every human being is the author of the book of his (or her) own life, or the director and actor of his own play or, as it has been famously said, “the captain of his ship”, why is he unable to write a better plot, direct a happier story, govern his ship with more mastery? Well… this is possibly the greatest mystery about human life which we might never be able to understand. We have been given cards and asked to play our game. The tragedy is that most times we complain about the cards we received and forget to focus on the best way to play them in the Great Game of Life.
