While moving pieces over a chess board I find similarities between the movements in life and concepts of chess. These are real experiences I undergo both in life and over chessboard. I also like to dream about a new way of life where movements are more similar. When chess is a completely solved game, we may need to find out another game, a game for the future. This weblog belongs to that search process! A continous search!

Maskless ruthless chess: Hypocrite Life (version2)

Here my objective is to draw similarities between important concepts played over a chess board and life, however there are fundamental differences between these two: mainly, these differences created by our modern civilization, in a different civilization we could have behaved differently. Or, at least, we can think of a new civilization where its exactly like playing games over a chess board.

Let's just watch some very important differences, we might go into details later on:

1. Nobel Prize in human civilization (literature): A writer writes great things about human life, shows the greatness of humanity, writes in a nice language (of course, I don't have a doubt on that) and wins a Nobel Prize. This has a noble cause. It advances society, inspires humanity for a good cause.

However, it doesn't question about very basics: do we really have potential? Are we all not going to die one day with our beloved planet (whatever we try)? Are we all not basically very greedy? Are we all not born because of someone else's mistakes? That there is no fundamental difference between a beast and a human? But we all have the superiority complex and consider ourselves the king of this planet...

We don't seem like all that bad since we use lots of masks..
Human has to be hypocrite since they want to be happy. All human philosophy, literature, poetry etc. Designed to make human happy. Human appreciates such work of happiness and reward those people who bring happiness in their lives. But truth may not bring happiness all the time. Truth hurts, the real truth may not make human happy. So we pretend to be truthful knowing that we are not. We project ourselves who believe in truth, but all we want to be is happy; this contradiction makes us hypocrite.

But a game of chess is maskless. Here we all know how we survive, how we get killed, no one is so great. A sacrifice is made to win something else, may be someother time. It all depends on calculation, strategy and positional maneuvers! Its merciless!
