“Because if you can fully understand such a mindset—the rationale which would allow you to step over the line and into oblivion—then you are in danger of doing so as well.”

Terry Schott, Towers: The Exigency Chronicles
This game we play, just like the life we live, is filled with contrasts. It has to be. Being warm is much better if you have known what it is to be cold. The light is a welcome break from being surrounded by darkness. Earth is contrast. Nothing is bad or good, things simply lean toward one side of the spectrum or the other. Some periods in a person’s life are full of confusion, peril, and pain, while others are filled with clarity, safety, and pleasure. I advise you to slow down and enjoy yourself when things are good. It can go on for years, but don’t waste one precious moment of the good times. Because the bad times always appear and, if you haven’t built up your reserves during the good times, you may not make it through the bad.
-Terry Schott “The Game (The Game Is Life Book 1)"
Magic, true magic, is safe and secure in the world for one simple reason: no one believes it exists. […] Magic does exist. It could be easily observed if only people were looking for it in the right places. Don’t look high into the sky hoping to spot a flying woman; it is much more likely that she is closer to the ground than that, floating just a few inches off the ground. The extraordinary is simply that – a little bit extra than ordinary. There is great power in that little bit extra.

If everyone says they like you, then some of them are lying.

The Game Review - Looking Back
Well, I’m surprised this isn’t an ever growing fandom honestly. There were some good things written in that book, and it really does make a person think. I would have to give that book a good suggestion for anybody who wants a good read. Besides some of the thought provoking things that the author presents, it really can change how you look at life. Not saying that life is a game like the book is saying, but it does make you think about the “what if”.
Sometimes things that seem different aren’t always all that far apart.
We as a race have never done well with mysteries; our minds want an explanation for everything. If we can’t rationally explain a curiosity, then, given enough time, most will accept an irrational answer. Science has helped solve many difficult questions throughout our history, but most remain unanswered.

Parents aren’t so different from us kids; they just want some help from us when we can give it. I think kids would have better parents if they were better at being kids.
