In battle there are must be opposing forces wherein one seeks to triumph over the other force. In game, one plays according to the rules inorder to win in the end. How do you consider life in general and yours in particular? Is Life a battle or a game? Each of us views life differently depending on our experiences, but how do you perceive yours? How we see ours could be a reflection of how we see the world.

For me life is definitely a battle, I feel like it's a game of chess, and each piece represents a piece of me, with the queen being my heart, the king is my sanity, the pawns are my defence system, my bishop is my confidence, my knights are my bravery and courage and that's how I see it, at the moment I have suffered a big loss and lost a lot of my pawns and nearly lost my queen, but now I am fighting back slowly, building my defence, my confidence up and I have protected my heart so it's now inpenetrable. I have the next move and I am making a very careful one to make sure I don't lose again.

I hope that your heart isn't impenetrable and that you would learn to love again. Part of loving is hurting and that is part of life. When we hurt, we come to value the happiness that we now have. In case you lose again, you will still stand up and heal and then love again. I believe that our hearts are resilient and it might surprise you to know how strong it is.

Life is The Great Teacher to me,it teaches many lessons,and yes it can be a great battle,however the worst enemy usually turns out to be oneself.Once we make peace with our enemy,it then can be quite a fun game.We are the ones whom make the rules for ourselves,then when we break these very same rules,we make war on self,beat up on self. Any given situation can either be a Battle or a Victory,a Heaven or a Hell,it is all up to us.How we embrace our "emotions" is the best recipe to bring about balance. There is a saying "Sometimes on has to be cruel to be kind"This I personally apply to Life.All indeed is in the perception and the correction of it. Cheers

Life indeed is a great teacher wherein we could learn from. It is also said the man's greatest battles isn't fought in the battlefield but inside the man himself.

It depends on the person and what that person makes with his or her life, In saome cases it's a game, in some casese is a fight. In general it is a competition. There are no rules all you have is a bit of time, and the goal is evolution: yours as an individual and your genetic code's throu your generations to come. What I descovered about life is that althoe all you have is time life is not the sum of the moments yuo live, it is the sum of the events that you live. You also need energy to live and evolv and this is where money comes in. Money is not time like everyone thinks, MONEY IS ENERGY. So that's life.

life for me is an adventure and not even a battle or a game because i do not compare myself with others. we all travel our own lives , we are not answerable to anyone but to ourselves. our lives is like climbing a mountain where we have to deal with all the hardship of trekking the mountain of success and every bit of hurdling each problems that we encounter is another step in achieving the top of the mountain.

when game, one can restart but when life one can't that's the difference. we life tired for we have too much for considering. and we have wisdom we have society. we can never have the real life forever.

I disagree with you. When we fail in life, we could certainly pick up the pieces and restart. That is the beauty of second chances and life is full of it.
