Why Flappy BIrds is a game everyone should play once.

I want to start this blog by saying this has very little to do with any thing we are talking about in class but it does have a point about how we should live which is the one of the basic elements to philosophy so I thought I should share.  It all started when I was with a friend trying to do homework, and not getting any of it done because of this game and the fact that my procrastination level is off the charts, but my friend was playing this game and she said the one thing that angered her the most was that the bird flew so majestic until you started the game.  And later after I was playing the game, what she said got me thinking.  Looking around Baylor I see all these people who look as if they are flying through life, even though I know probably they are struggling to get through the pipes just as I am, but they seem to be just as majestic going through life as the bird is before the game starts and it makes me want to be majestic in life and come up with crazy ideas like learning three languages because I see my friends talking in fluent Spanish to which I only catch parts and pieces of and then stop turn to me and without pause speak perfect English to catch me up on what I miss.  But once life starts, I and most like myself fall flat on our faces over and over again but just like in the game we restart only to frustrate ourselves and ask serious questions like "what am I doing with my life" a question that has caused me to change my major once and my minor twice of course I would never leave the sanctuary that is the business minor. But through these frustrations our lives begin to unfold and we figure out what to do with the rest of our lives.  And maybe when we leave Baylor with our diplomas we will have become the majestic bird.

  1. Some one reminded me of a Kierkegaard quote recently, that say life can only be understood backwards, it must be lived forwards. We don't always feel so majestic in the forward living. Thoughtful set of reflections.
