Have you ever thought of Tetris as anything else but a time-consuming, stress-killing, mathematically oriented video-game?
Personally, never. But last night, at 4 a.m., while I was struggling to sleep after eating three mandarin oranges, my mind started to play Tetris. Weird.
Take advice of your pillow, they say. This game isn't just a game, it's the philosophy of life.
And what does life consist of?
The more we grow up, the more we face difficulties and dilemmas. We overcome some, we are beaten by others, we build over that and we move forward.
We fight against our overwhelming duties on a daily basis, and if we can handle them, our world scores better. The rapid music of the last levels in Tetris symbolizes that stress, and the fast movement of tetrominoes pictures the duties.
Sometimes, we fight against an issue that looks tremendous, but once we overcome it, it starts to look very easy in our memory. So we forget about it and we jump to another one, harder at the beginning, and so easy when it ends. Think about your Game Boy screen when it's full of I's and L's, remember how luck helped you to empty it, and then recall the level after. It's always harder, but you always make it.
S's and Z's are a pain in the a**, but they can make a perfect fill for an a**hole.
And if you fail? Game Over!
And so what? Start a new game...
That's life. You go down, you get a scratch, and then you rise up and walk again. The same thing that used to happen when you were a kid will take place again when you become an adult.
Dare and move forward, things will come by themselves.
