There are many ways in which Life is like a video game. We gain XP through various life experiences which enables us to level up. When we reach high school and college, we have to decide on our character class and carefully distribute our skill points in order to build the strongest character possible. We have to choose our friends carefully because they’ll be like our battle party, there to assist us and to help us get over Life’s hurdles.

Over the course of our lives, we will face mini-bosses and main bosses. These boss battles will appear in many different forms: a difficult final, a project at work, or an insane mother-in-law. Hopefully we will have the skills necessary to triumph when we reach these levels, but there will be times when we will be defeated and have to try again. If you want to beat the game, you must pinpoint what you did wrong in order to emerge victorious.

As we get older and gain more experience points, the challenges will increase in difficulty, but the rewards will increase as well.

Death is the final boss battle. Players with more experience points who have built their characters well may have an easier time facing this battle, but it is a challenge everyone who plays the game of Life must face.
