Bomberman and The Game of Life by thought_of_me

Bomberman is an amazing robot that hopes to be free hos life at an underground bomb factory. Consumed by the possibility of leaving his world an d becoming a human, he planned to escape to the surface. But there are other bomb-making robots that are aware of Bomberman's plan, and set theis forces to stop his journey.

Armed with only bombs and determination, Bomberman set out against the evil forces. He needs to find his way out through a maze while avoiding enemies. He must destroy the rocks with his bomb to find doors that will lead him to further maze rooms. Items such as more bombs and fire that provides him with maximum power can be found there. Jackets that will make him invincible to flame and enemies are also hidden under rocks. There are also items that will let him slip past soft blocks, and items that will increase his movement speed. But the most amazing thing he can find is the control power which he can choose when to blast his bombs. The more items that he can find, the bigger will be the possibility that he can destroy his enemies and find his way out.

That could be our game of life as humans. The only difference that we have from Bomberman is that we don't play our game hoping to be humans, instead, we play our game to become powerful humans. We were all born helpless. The only thing that we have-is life. We were not even given a security that we will live long. But one thing is certain-we will play our game. Just like Bomberman, we dream, we hope, and we believe that we are not to stay trapped and helpless forever. We start our game by depending on the food and care that our parents are giving us to make us strong and help us survive. As we get stronger, we start to destroy the rocks of their rules and try to be independent.. When we find out that there are a lot of things to be found under rocks, we don't wait for our parents to open them for us; we break them.As we discover that there's more to life than our parents feeding us, we leave them and live a life of our own. We begin to dream for ourselves. We hope to be better, and we believe that we can be powerful. But along the way, we will find out that there are people that we either need to avoid or destroy. They are the enemies. They will be staying along our way and will try to stop us from our journey to success. We're not going to be hypocrites, are we? We need to really destroy them if we cannot avoid them along our ways. Then as we go through our journey, as we destroy the rocks in the maze of our game, we will find out surprisingly good things in life. We will be able to find friends that will give us additional strength for they will fight with us. There will also be some people under rocks that we can find who will support and give us protection. Others we will find hidden beneath the rocks who will provide better access to the dreams we believe in. Some of them are just waiting under rocks and as we find them, they will come along the way with us and will help us increase our movement speed to reaching our goals in life. But we should remember that we don't really need all the power in the world to fulfill the dreams that we have. Furthermore, we need to know that not all people that we will be encountering could be helpful in achieving our dreams in life. Sometimes, if not all the time, other people would come along your way to pull you down rather than to push you up.

Too much power can cause Bomberman's life, and so our lives. We must realize that the moment we have used all the powers that we have, in case all the friends and people that we have found along our way got tired and have lost their will to help us for some reasons, we will have no choice but to go back to our parents, to our original world, like how Bomberman will stay to the underground bomb factory because his enemies won't stop blocking his way out. We humans were given a wonderful life with just enough power and that's how we must stay until we die. We must realize that the only one who remains humble and generous despite of too much and unfailing power is our Creator. So let's not crave for too much power because it's not the only way we can live a successful and happy life. Let us be very patient and just work hard for the dreams we believe in. Let's play our game slowly but surely. Choose the right persons that we will take along with our journey, like Bomberman should choose what items to carry with him on his way out to the surface that will help him become human eventually.
