This view is usually held by cynical people to justify their inhumane behavior. But although their motivation is questionable, their statement has truth. Because life has its rules. Its consequences. It is a game that goes on and on. Those who recognize the rules and do not want to be paralyzed by injustice do well to acknowledge the game. Life is a brutal game and forgiveness must be believed, for life does not forgive easily.

But if we see the game, we recognize the rules of the game. They are not arbitrary. They are understandable. However, they are not the rules of society; not laws in the lawbook or social norms. No, the rules are deeper within us. The rules of the game caused the lawbooks of this world and the social norms. Some hypothesize it is all a game of power. Who is more powerful? And while that may be true depending on how you look at it, power is of a different nature than we may think. Power is the force that makes something last. That power can be charity and self-sacrifice, not just political power. Whatever the exact rules of the game of life are, they are worth exploring.

Whoever understands the rules better will have an easier life. Those who are willing to rethink the rules again and again will gain true power and effectively transform their lives and thus the world. Complaining is of no use because the game will be played in any case.
