Moira Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 so since this is supposed to describe our life I'll just say im doing great because I can't remember anything I would choose and I'm not creative enough to think of anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 As far as eye can see. yeah, this. i do have family members that i don't like, though, so they don't count. My conscience, thou art fetter'd More than my shanks and wrists: you good gods give me The penitent instrument to pick that bolt, Then free for ever! it's not mine, but it's shakespeare and he makes good metaphors. i like this question a lot, i just suck at writing poetry. the extended metaphor would involve vastness, though, so like ocean and space and valleys and stuff.

Esme Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) I'm gonna go ahead and change my answer if we can use poems. The railroad track is miles away, And the day is loud with voices speaking, Yet there isn’t a train goes by all day But I hear its whistle shrieking.All night there isn’t a train goes by, Though the night is still for sleep and dreaming, But I see its cinders red on the sky, And hear its engine steaming.My heart is warm with friends I make, And better friends I’ll not be knowing; Yet there isn’t a train I wouldn’t take, No matter where it’s going.

Makaze Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) A game of Texas Hold'em Poker. Life is a zero-sum game where you and everyone else are dealt a small piece of a hand. You have to match the hand you were born with to the community hand that nature provides you. Nature can screw you over, but other people are the ones you have to beat. It is is a game of bluffs, exploitation, and choosing your battles wisely. You can either be in it for the long haul or take your chances and risk dying young. Playing your cards close to your chest is the best way to win. All metaphors fall apart sometime. Edited September 27, 2014 by Makaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makaze Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Guaranteed_replies.jpg Ftr this one fell apart as soon as you said "life is a zero-sum game" That's one I can pretty much back up. Although it's more that time is a zero-sum game. e.g.: Matter and energy are finite; what one person has is what another person does not have. Alone time with one person is time not spent alone with another. One opportunity taken in Place A in an hour is an opportunity at Place B missed in an hour. Time spent learning one trade is time not spent learning another trade. Which you choose to do in any of these cases changes the entire course of your life and by extension the lives of others. In a post-scarcity, immortal world these things might not matter in the long term but they matter now. To me, anyway.

Freohr Datia Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) The time I spend shopping for pretty clothing prevents me from being able to spend that time torturing myself Sum=Zero Time I spend alone with Integrity is time not spent alone with a person who plans to kill me Sum=Zero Not to mention I'm pretty sure each step taken can create numerous consequences rather than just two, I wonder, do all of those consequences always balance out?
