Is life a game?

It depends on the person. Lots of people could go on forever, fighting to say how life is a game. There are rules, and there are boundaries. But inside all of those, life is simply just a game. You can take your job seriously, you can get the money that you want. Hell, you could go on vacations often, if your job allows you. A lot of people say that death is just a part of life. It happens no matter what. That is when they state how life is a game. Why worry so much about things, if in the end you're going to lose it all?

As for others, they say that life is definitely not a game. They say that you have to work had at everything. Worrying is only part of life. They want to persue in the career they wish, and hope to get enough money to get on in life. They want to do as many things as they can, without having any worries on their mind. Yet, life is still not a game. There are too many rules, and stanards to ever second guess that life is a game.

To tie in with Catcher in the Rye...Holden definitely thinks that life is just a game. If he were so worried about everything, he wouldn't he flunking school. He'd be up there in the charts, and actually working on things. As for Stradlater, he also thinks that life is a game. He never does his work, and all he ever does is go out and try to get the ladies attention. It always somehow works for him, thanks to his good looks...

In the end, there's not one answer to me. I think that life is a game in a sense, and it's not. But that's only how I think. State your opinion...
