-What is our life
-The ocean to Cynthia
-A Farewell to False Love

                                             

Farewell, false love, the oracle of lies,
A mortal foe and enemy to rest,
An envious boy, from whom all cares arise,
A bastard vile, a beast with rage possessed,
A way of error, a temple full of treason,
In all effects contrary unto reason...

Life is full of rules and so are sports. In life, sometimes you must run and do some home runs, you've got to be fast, frequently the fastest in all you do so you are always ranking on top.

Life makes you play your best strategies to beat down your opponents and it also makes you do your best.

In my opinion life is a game and according on how well you play its how well positioned you'll be.
