Life means different things for everyone. For wise people, life is a dream. It is full of new opportunities and new things to discover. It is full of people to meet, things to create. It is a dream come true because these wise people are able to wisely choose for themselves a wonderful life. Rich or poor, the wise people see life as a dream. Life is a game for the fool. Getting drunk to be drunk, spending themselves broke in casinos, and doing all sorts of things they shouldn't just because they think it is fun. They don't realize that life isn't a game. It is real, and everything you can be tracked back to you; what you do can even kill you, so be careful where you are leaving your footprints. Rich people, if they are the type who is a stereotypical rich person (burns money because he/she has money to burn), probably live life more as a comedy. They pay their way through everything and feel safe with their money by their side. They probably see life as a comedy, just watching those who are less fortunate and laughing at them without even a clue on what they are going through. On that note, the poor peoples' lives are a bit more of a tragedy. Sometimes without a roof above their heads, and if they have one, it might not be the best living conditions. Small, cramped quarters. They sometimes don't know where they will find their next meal. Life is a tragedy as they live each day one day at a time trying to keep themselves alive.
Here is my big 'be careful' of the day for you:
When talking to someone about life and how either terrible or amazing it is for you, be aware of who they are. If you are rich and you are talking about your life of luxury to someone less fortunate, you might hurt their feelings a lot. So just be wary and conscious about other people's feelings.
There are other morals to this quote, too. What do you think this quote is trying to tell us, if anything at all?
