THIS IS LIFE
You have been sent on a journey. You had no choice about when or where it started. You don't know when, where, or how it will end. You have no map. All you know for sure is that it's bound to end sometime. There are rules that apply to this journey, but you've had to learn them as you go. And you can't control them. You may not even know the purpose of the journey, even though others claim to. All you know is that once started, you must continue every day, whether you feel like it or not. You start with no possessions and when you finish you must turn in all you have accumulated. In the end, say some, you will be rewarded or punished. But how do they know for sure? That's life and you can't change it. A little faith and sense of humour, fortunately, help cushion some of the bumps.
