Life does not play game with you but its you who play game with your life.

As I was thinking about what is in my mind today to write in facebook, I got this statement. Now I can't say, why at that moment this statement came up in mind. Now the question is do you agree with this statement or not. I definitely agree with this statement and without agreement, I wouldn't state it too haha... If we look at the people, we can find many people blaming their destiny, blaming the persons around for the problems in his life. And then they become sad and say, Life played a bad game with me. I think this is some sort of escapism. Its we ourselves, who set what to do in our life, how to get somewhere, what to do, what not to do. And on the basis of what we do, the future is also coming to us. Then who is the player, you or the life? Any opinions are welcome...Thankyou!!!

Hi Nzal, the Chinese culture has better explanation of this. It's the concept of Heaven Luck, Earth Luck and Man Luck. Heaven luck means the genes that we all inherited, the potential and the talents. It also means the timing and place of birth, which are beyond our control. Sometimes it means the opportunities open to us. Earth luck means the surrounding, the environment, meaning our friends, teachers, boss, family, the place we stay, the place we work. Man luck means our choices, what we want to do. All three are part of the game. Sometimes you want to play game with your life, but then the influence of other factors prevent you from doing what you want.

Hello Scheng!!! That was an interesting explanation. All are the philosophies that different group of man make. It is the interesting concept to divide the game into three parts and that seems to be reasonable... And it is very true that our life is very much influenced by various factors around us. Again the other philosophy, the law of karma explains my statement. Thanks for your response...happy mylotting...

Hi Nzal, the law of karma is part of the Heaven Luck explanation. When the Chinese explains why some people have smoother path in life, such as born in a good family, and able to live peaceful life and die peacefully, they explain it using the karma concept, associated with Heaven Luck.

Well I think sometimes, life can play a game with you; but still it's up to you how you'll play with it.. Hehehe.. I don't know because based on experience, sometimes life can be so hard for me but still there's no way for me to blame people or thngs for that because I still hold on to the fact that everything has a purpose. =D Life is really like that.. sometimes it has its ups and downs but still it will all depend on how we handle things.. =D

Hello Cecille!!! Yes, it is true that something very unexpected happen in our life and we are bound to say that life played game with me and start blaming the destiny. But there is nothing that cannot be overcome. We ourselves start playing with emotions on and on and depending upon how we react the future comes along with it. Every future is set by out present and the past act and the even present today is the out come of the past. It is true that this life is very hard to be controlled, but still we should learn to control if we want to win in life... Thanks for your response.... Happy mylotting...I hope you are having the great semester...

Hi! It doesn't matter what life throws at us. What matters is how we catch it and what we do with it from there.

to some extent i beleive that everything that happens is destined and they happen for a reason but i also believe that if think that things are destined and don't work then we would be nothing and our life would be stagnent. our main motive on earth is to work and accoplish the task that we have to complete. if we escap from our work and blame fate then we are wrong.

Hello abanerji!!! If you believe that the things come up in our life, then there is the question how is that destiny set. Why someone can be really fateless, pitiful life. And may be the destiny is set from the previous life. And if so, then again we are the player ourselves again. But this is the blind faith, not to discuss more about... But this is at least confirm that our future is the result of our present and our past and our present is the result of our past. Each moment we are making way for the future to come in. And so what the future is that depends upon how we deal with the life. so it is always better not to blame anyone for the outcomes, not to blame life, but see forward how the life can be brighter. Thanks for your response...Happy mylotting...

Hi nzalheart! How are you doing? This is all very true! I think we are the players. It's easy to blame your problems on other people or other situations. I tend to do this sometimes. In the end, it's really our own fault. Kathy.

Hello kathy, I am very much fine except I am not getting enough time to spend time in mylot. I feel like I have lot of works, but I don't even do them but whenever I try to mylot again I remember my other work and tend to do nothing else. Just getting so lazy... I may have blamed many times in the past, but now I rarely blame anyone. Though at instantaneous angry moment, I may blame anyone haha...but I rarely get angry and when I rethink the situation, slowly I find it is worthless blaming anyone... Good luck with your life...Hope you play the game well and happily...Happy mylotting...

Hey nzalheart! It sounds like you stay very busy to me! I'm glad you don't get angry too often. That's very good. I think we all get mad sometimes. It's just that some people know how to express their anger better than others. Happy mylotting! Kathy.

We all have the power to CHOOSE what we deem important in life. If we are hurt maybe we place too much importance on some things. The choices are all ours. Then there is adversity. When times are good, we just sit back and enjoy the ride. When adversity hits, we have to think,plan,study,analyze, and grow in so many ways along the journey. We are all going to learn. Some fight this and just moan and complain to prevent taking action of any kind. There are lessons to learn with this as well. I find that when a person needs to change and refuses, they just hurt until it is easier to change. Without change, there can be no growth!!

Very true bird123!!! It is the nature of people to think deep and start blaming the destiny when the adversity hits and they forget that they also had the happy moments in their life. While in the happiness, they forget to mention the destiny and when it comes to the sadness, they start blaming on and on to the destiny. And it is very true that we should learn with everything that happens. Thanks for your nice response... Happy mylotting...
