Dive: Life is a master game

The great Shia writer Leo Tolstoy wrote in his book 'Confessions': 'Five years ago something strange began to happen to me. I didn't understand where my life would take me? I fell into depression. After few times I became normal and started living as before. At one point I fell into deep depression. It occurred to me, what is the meaning of what I do?' Many people are confused by such questions. Philosophers and sensitive people are tormented by various ideas about the futility of life. Because of their intelligence and sensitivity, they get overwhelmed by the smallest things. What do they think is the meaning of life bound to the same routine all day? What do you have to spend your life in this way to achieve? Philosophers have extensively discussed the absurdity of life. Authors have given excellent works on the futility of existence. This ideology has influenced other arts as well. Thus thinking about the impermanence of life at a subtle level. Scholars have explained their point with terms incomprehensible to the common man like 'existential crisis'. On the other hand, American writer Joseph Campbell, who has a positive attitude towards life, says: 'If life does not seem to be going according to our plan, we should leave that path and accept the life that is waiting for us.' Life has been compared to a game. This game is really worth playing. Everyone makes their own rules of the game. Some people play the game of searching for God, some play the game of finding true love. Some get stuck in the maze of a life-like game. Well-known British biochemist and author Robert S. d. Ropp calls human life a 'master game'. As the layers of this master game unfold, man realizes something new at each stage. Man develops only by searching for the meaning of life. In childhood, children are most interested in toys. After growing up, the same children get busy in the games of samsara. The purpose of life changes at every stage of age. New purpose is realized in old age. Life doesn't seem so pointless if we can enjoy every stage of the game. The common man tries to find a way out of the crises that arise in daily life without going into any deep thinking spree about life. They are not prepared to find answers to philosophical questions like the meaninglessness of life or the futility of existence, nor do they feel the need. Getting out of everyday problems is their biggest challenge and purpose of life. They keep falling, crashing, getting up again. For them, life has only one meaning – to survive at any cost and to make whatever compromises are necessary. Ordinary people find little happiness in their own way out of dire situation and boring life. The men and women who came to Petiya Ralwa town from the tribal areas were working all day at a construction site lifting bricks overhead and carrying them from one place to another. In the evening, he makes roti-vegetables in open space and sleeps, the next day he does the same thing again. One day a tribal laborer got bored of doing the same job every day? He lost interest in work. Her daughter-in-law noticed that her groom was confused. When he asked, the groom said that what is the meaning of lifting bricks every day? The son-in-law said, getting money and being full means the same thing. The bride gave the right answer, but the groom did not like it. He started getting bored. Vahu thought that what is missing in his current life? Then he felt that if this is the only work to be done, then something should be done to make it fun. One day, while she was picking up bricks, she started humming a song from her tribal area. The groom looked at her. The long forgotten song crept into his mind. He also started humming along with the bride and then both of them started singing freely instead of working. Other laboring men and women also joined them. Everyone sings loudly and goes to work. So the boredom of doing one job started to disappear and the fatigue also got less. Then everyone sits together at night and sings their songs by memorizing them and having fun. One day a young man took out his old pao and started playing. Hearing that, everyone stood up, put their hands in each other's hands and started performing the folk dance of their region. He found the lost purpose of life. If any philosopher would have known this, he would have known the famous Russian thinker P. d. One would have remembered Ouspensky's statement – ​​'The true purpose of life begins to be explained only when it is realized that our life has become meaningless.'}
