Gamer's Reality

One important thing gamers learn is that before you enter the boss fight, stock up and save your game. In the event of your defeat, load from last save point and use what knowledge you gained fighting it to win. In the case where you are incapable of beating the boss, one option is to go online and get some tips from a walkthrough. And that is how a gamer can always beat the game.

Too bad you can't say the same for Life.

There are no save points in Life. You can't go back and redo a choice that you've made. You can't use hindsight for the future. There are no walkthroughs. And even the best laid plans and strategies will crumble at Life's unpredictability. There's just no way to beat Life.

I can see why millions of people prefer to 'live' in World of Warcraft.
