I've come to realize that life is neither a battle nor a game to be won, it is a game nonetheless, but to be played... enjoyed. There are neither winners nor losers... just players--and what's great is that you can choose who to play with

About This Quote

This quote is about how to enjoy life. We all start out in life with the assumption that life is a battle between good and evil. We believe it is the way of the world. However, this isn't true.

Good and evil are not always at war. In fact, they're not even human qualities. They're just words that have been attached to certain people by others.

The people who have used these terms to describe you have never known you or your life. They only know the situation that you find yourself in. So, if a person was a bad person from the day he was born, he would never change.

That's why we can't spend our lives waiting for someone to come around and free us from our chains of evil. We have to look to ourselves for our own rehabilitation. In other words, we have to be the ones who set ourselves free from this cage of evil and selfishness by focusing on what we can do well and enjoying what we do enjoy doing.

If we stop questioning what's going on around us and simply practice living a happy life then we can find joy in everything that happens in our lives because we will be living a happy life instead of a miserable one.
