No, really. And this works on more levels than one. On a very basic, literal level, and that much is obvious. Whether you're a dishwasher trying to figure out how to arrange the dishes so they fit best in the tub, trying to arrange things in a suitcase, or maybe figuring out the best way to park a bunch of cars in your driveway. It's all about fitting the pieces together for the best possible outcome.

And speaking of pieces, I think life, in a figurative sense, is like Tetris, and you are a piece. Whether an L block, reverse L block, squiggle or reverse squiggle, the T block, elusive line block, or that damnedable square block. You are one of many pieces trying to fit into society. Trying to find your niche in the world where you fit best. And in another sense, you also do what you can to shape society around yourself, much like you manipulate every piece that comes after the first. Everyone wants to change the world, just like everyone wants to win Tetris.

Winning Tetris. You can't do it, just like winning life. I mean, of course there are SOME versions of Tetris you can win, but that's besides the point. Instead, you play for the high score. When you get it, you keep playing to beat it. Just like how everyone is constantly trying to better their own lives and pursue higher goals than each one they complete.

"Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get." That famous quote isn't quite true. You always have some foreshadowing in life, sort of how Tetris shows your next piece. Armed with that knowledge of the next piece, you already start to plan it's place in your multi-colored, misshapen puzzle, just how you use the knowledge of your own future to plan your next move in life.

Life is like a game of Tetris.
