Crossing the road of Life

It seems like I have a talent for analogies. To be truthful, it's not really a talent for analogies, it's recognising simple things happening that I manage to relate to life. So, these simple things become stuck in most analogies that I use.

I think I did heard of "Life is like crossing a road", but somehow, people never mention why. They say, the road's tough to cross and that sort of stuff. So I thought, why not give it a try today, after jaywalking across a road in order to catch a bus. I'll include the bus and the jaywalking in this post. Makes it more near reality. Sorry about the spoiler though. So, how about "Crossing the road in order to catch the bus". *Chuckles*

Buses are like targets in life, we always attempt to catch them. If it's gone, we have to wait for the next one. Just like being prepared in life. People who are prepared to set off earlier, can cross the road using the traffic light, and are just in time to catch the bus. People who are less prepared, will have to jaywalk across the street and try to catch the bus. Jaywalking, is like increasing productivity, you have to know how to do it. For example, effective mugging. Some people can finish studying their tests in 2 days, while you spend a week, and realised they score better than you. You ask, why? Experience counts, even for jaywalking, you got to know how to do it, or you'll just get stuck at the other end of the road. Theory ends when either you get prepared for it and take the safe way out by crossing the traffic light, or risk it by jaywalking. Of course the government encourages you to cross the road safely. Or you'll get fined, get killed by a speeding car. But well, some ask, what's life without risks? Especially when there are times you can never be prepared[e,g the bus is right in front of you across the road about the drive off], you got to learn to be skilled in jaywalking, or you'll just miss the bus. So what's wrong with jaywalking?

However, when people approach the topic "Love", the whole thing does a big change. Buses may have the same number, but you know it just isn't the same bus anymore. You cant afford to miss it. Be it jaywalking or safely crossing the streets, sometimes it's irritable, especially you don't know if the bus would be waiting for you. Some just drives off. Some waits and you get onto the bus of love. Some gets directly rejected from the bus for "bringing up food and drinks" therefore is not welcomed. While others, get screwed crossing half the road and still wondering if the bus would wait for them. But you will never know till the very end, when you board the bus or the bus drives off. It's worse, especially if you only just started crossing the road. What if you thought it'd stop, and just when you're about to reach it, it drives off? I hope that there's always a next bus to look forward to eh?

Interesting, yet sometimes hateful, but I guess that's life. Hope you guys like this entry.
