This is the second time I am seeing and since the time I saw it first, I have begun thinking that life is an analogy to whatever game you make it, whether that be candy crush, bejeweled, chess, hearts, poker, ... tetris, etc.

My own view on chess and life is that you shouldn't play it by planning 10 steps to hit just one target, but as one of 10 targets. Transform that concept to whatever game you wish.

These statements serve as analogies we use to communicate what life is like or how we understand it. For that reason, I feel the title should have been "How life is a Tetris game and opponentless."

Metaphors are like books, they can be about anything®

Even when they are similes :-)
