Deathdream,

Nice. Thanks.

You are right.

Life is how you live it.

As chess is how you play it.

Only in life. . . ,

there is no "another game."

Thanks, i didn't know im so precious to you. jk

You make it seem like life's goal should be time spent with an awesome person kissing and hugging etc and this is a general view held by lonely and left-out people unfulfilled within themselves. There really is much more to life than girlfriends or friends. While it's alright to walk along with them and have a conversation understanding and contemplation of life itself is more important. Perhaps not the most important though.

Anyways, One day i met a guy who was a Harvard Professor and scientific researcher, he was in his 80s and retired at the time. He told me that all the research in areas of biology, chemistry and biochemistry lead him to conclude that universe is God's creation. (There is a reason why he thought it was the one generally portrayed by Christianity but i won't go into that). Ever since he realized that and began studying bible (and he really knew lots about it) he would reflect once and then about his life. He said if he could relive his life again, he would turn to God from the beginning and the saddest moments of his life were the ones spent without him.

So for different people, there are different things that matter in this life. Influential people in history, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Leo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton or Niki Tesla never had wives and they didnt go about crying and writing poetry how much it sucks not to have a girl you can kiss all day. Perhaps they had higher ideals.

Anyways, remember life is only yours and you can do with it whatever you want, although some limits are imposed on it by people and society in general. If you think there are things that really matter to you, that would be worth living for, and YOU ARE STILL ALIVE THEN GO AND GET THEM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!! You ain't gonna get a second chance. When you die, people will cut you down to a 10 cm wide dash on a tombstone and that will be the end of it.

There is a poem i read back in the ice age, that went something like that:

Gather ye roses while ye may

old time is still a-flying

and this same flower that smiles today

tomorrow will be dying.

Chess is better than girls by the way. If you have a choice, then go for it! :-P
