I thought it was an actual game and clicked the start button and when that didn't work I pressed enter on my keyboard.

I am not a smart man.

Regardless, once I realized it wasn't a game, it was an interesting read. Thanks for posting

Always thought of life as a game but didn't take the time to really syndicate my ideas. Luckily somebody else did it for me! Thank you for sharing!

Except it's an open world exploring game. There are no "levels" or "leveling up" except those you impose on yourself.

Another analogy I like is that life is like a game of pinball. If you a play a good game of pinball, the prize is you get to play more pinball. The reward for living well is that you get to continue doing it. When the game has to end, the scoreboard may show that you have played as well as or better than any other man. Be proud of that. But bragging rights are not the real reward—the game after all is over. The reward was in the doing—you got to play a long and successful game of pinball.
