The moment you start seeing life as non-serious, a playfulness, all the burden on your heart disappears. All the fear of death, of life, of love - everything disappears.Corporate financiers die just as dead as bag ladies, and sometimes they have twice the worries and half the fun. Life is a game - a game you can never win. You already know the final score: Life 1, You 0. When the game ends, you will be dead.

The great news is that the game can be wonderful fun while it lasts as long as you remember that it is a game and keep it light and playful. Tease life, taunt life, never attack life head-on.
A lot of the fun of the game of life depends on what kind of game you think it is. If it's not a game you can win, it's not football, or poker or chess. I happen to think it's not even a game you can lose. Not really. Not as long as you're alive. Maybe it's like a game of tag - sometimes you're IT. Sometimes not. Or maybe it's the kind of tag game in which everybody's IT. Which, oddly enough, is also fun. A lot of fun, even.
