What an elegant re-enactment of your gaming experience! I also like the way you went deeper than that 586 and found a more underlying truth of patience. You are quite correct--the game seems easy at first, but it becomes challenging as it progresses, and we end up testing how relaxed and concentrated we can be. That certainly relates to the reality as nothing comes easily and being successful in something means waiting and trying.

I also like the way in which you wrote about the experience after completing the game and desiring that you had played better in the first place. So relatable, not just in games, but in our day to day life. It helps me remember that it is always a good habit to start with a lot of strength and remain consistent in case we want the best results.

Your words also shattered the notion that games are not supposed to be played by children. You have demonstrated that games can help freshen the mind, develop patience and even inspire us to better ourselves. Playing and sharing continue to be the most important thing to continue to do--you add meaning to our experience with what you share with each of us!
