'Ski-Free' = Life Lesson?

Anyone who has been using computers long enough will likely remember this game, and the guy in the pictures below... and we all know that 'Oh shit!' was the first thing to go through your head when you saw him(her?).

Now, maybe its because of all the crap that has happened lately, which I wont go into right now, and as lame and 'weird' as it may seem... I recently looked at this image, used in jest previously, and saw something completely different. What I saw was a life lesson, so-to-speak. No matter how hard you try or how high you jump or how many points you score... he will ALWAYS find you, and subsequently, eat you.

The same, in a sense, can be said about life in general. No matter how well you may thing things are going, sooner or later, something bad will happen. It's severity may not be the same as being eaten alive by an abominable snowman, but something less-than-desirable will occur and you just cant let yourself get bent out of shape about it.

Running from it wont work, as it will eventually catch up with you. Yet, slowing down wont work either, you're still heading, ultimately, in the same direction.

The point here is that you just need to keep doing what your doing, take your lumps and move-on (or start over if you're playing Ski-Free). Being afraid of what will happen in the future is no way to live because you end up short-changing yourself by worrying instead of living. You also cant ignore and just run from it, because what usually ends up happening is it all snowballs into one giant failure which can, and likely will, be more devastating than just letting it happen on its own.

In short... the Ski-Free monster always wins. All you can do is just continue to play the game.
