Everything you ever wanted to know about God but were too afraid to ask...

Q. You don't sound too happy about it.
A. Well...I dunno. I mean, think about it. Try to look at life like a
game of Pong. We're all our own little paddles, swatting around
figurative balls all over the place, and for what purpose? Money?
Fame? Power?
Q. It depends on what each individual considers "winning", I guess.
A. Well, of course...but take it even further. No matter who wins, or
who loses, when the game's over, it's over for everyone. Think about
chess a little. A friend of mine once noted that the King's greatest
fear in chess is not to lose, but to win!
Q. He fears winning?
A. He fears winning over all. Because when the game has ended, and his
glory is at its peak - he dies. The players wrest him from his
victorious dominion, and throw him in a box, where the life quickly
dissipates from his being - for that which has no purpose, and no hope,
cannot truly be alive.
Q. Aren't you waxing a bit anthropomorphic?
A. Am I? Consider it. Who welcomes death more, he with everything to
live for, or he with nothing to live for?
Q. What are you saying? We should strive to lose at Pong?
A. Should we strive to win, if winning itself would destroy us?
