Game-or-movie

Look at life as a game
where your objective is to
win your freedom.
You begin the game enslaved, ordained
to servitude sanctified by culture,
tradition, and social mores.
Your objective in the game is to escape
enslavement by sorting out the rules and
propaganda that govern the game, which
to ignore, which to leverage, and which
to defy. In this game you collect
experience points (failures, successes),
gold (money), tools, assets, and tweak
your character skills (learning new
things).
Begin knowing that your knowledge of
this game is half the battle -- those
trapped in the game have no idea they're
being gamed.
