We might think of the way to live
To go
To decide
And sometimes we submit
We tend to run from both
But we engage completely
In the flow of possibilities
Where life got infinite more
On a larger scale
But chess
Chess is a game
And a game is not life
But it is in life
Where we might be down
In the paths of defeats
In our daily lives
But we escape to games
If we played , if we didn’t
It doesnt matter
If we win or lose
We run and escape
We become the board
Because we don’t want to think of life
Of the more infinite possibilities in it
But maybe in games
We can sense that small victory
Maybe in them
Whether we participated or we were just watching
We can have sth that culd define us
Way beyind our daily lives
Maybe that’s why we play games
And why we should play life
There’s no play
But we play
And we got immersed
We can’t get addicted to life
But we can get addicted to chess
And as the pieces move
Fall and rise
Kill and be killed
They participate of a very greater thing
Way beyond their understanding
And possibilities
Way beyond even the minds moving them
Chess is just life minimized
And life is just chess not glorified
And we can loose i both
And we can scream i both
And we can be im them
Here
But we can never know to where
Or who
Or us
Life is a game
But winning and loosing aren’t fast
Aren’t determined
Aren’t immediate and aren’t free
So we invented games to minimize life
To give psychological and mental and physical rewards more sufficiently
Easily
And faster than life
More time on them
More rewards
More addiction
More mind games
In life we dont know where we stand
We stand at a sea
At infinity
But in chess we stand in our minds
Standing on white and black blocks
And i think its a human condition to take the road-less traveled
