The Game of Chess

The chess players must think through on the next move, must be able to see the opportunity, and hopefully make the right move so that the opponent will lose at the end. All the pieces need to be placed in a strategic position, so the opponent will not be able to find the loophole, or if there is a loophole it won't be found easily. It's a mind game which requires patience, endurance, and motivation to keep moving.

Perhaps one may wonder if life is also like the game of chess, where every move and decision that are made need to be carefully thought and need to be a wise one. It is crucial since every decision that is made is affecting how a person survives. Life is about survival, I guess, where each person is in a race. A race that requires training, patience, endurance and motivation because it won't be an easy race. Rest assured that one will face lots of obstacles in this race, because life never meant to be easy.

The question is: Are we going to be consumed in facing the obstacles of life? Is there anybody that one can turn to in the midst of chaos?
