A Game I Wish it Could Be

I know that I have been optimistic -sarcastic at times, but optimistic overall- but there is something that I have to say and I know that the argument could go either way: I wish that life was more like video gaming. There would be people who went through life successfully while they did repetitive things they didn't understand; there would be people that hit rock bottom by not caring what they did; there would be people who thought through every step and still had to fight to make it; there would be a second chance for everyone though. People could have a chance at do-overs, a chance to make up for what was lost. People could reach out and tell the ones they loved just how much they cared, or not because I know that not everyone would care for that chance.

Maybe it sounds crazy, I can see how it would, there are lessons to be learned from our own mistakes, which would help us to grow stronger and help us achieve more. Sometimes though the lessons come from people that don't mean to give them: people that would never want to hurt you, but somehow they end up shooting and the friendly fire is still fire, still painful. Unlike video games , friendly fire can end up with the death of a friendship, unable to be revived. I just wish life was more forgiving in that sense, that there was even the idea of stability and security in that if a mistake was made fixing it was the next step, an option. Maybe I am alone in this, but I still feel it, I thought I should share.
