Isn't Life Just a Ladder?

--Before I start, I'd like to mention that I'm not some depressed pyscho--

Life appears to be a ladder to me when I really analyze it

School
We go to first grade and try to get our best grades so we can get into better classes the next year and so on, later in our school year we just try and get good grades our whole school career to get accepted to a decent college.

Work
We go to work every day trying to climb the corporate ladder, trying to make more money every year, with dreams of becoming that CEO. We try to make enough money to support our retirement.

From now on, I'm living each day one at a time... my outlook on life is so much greater.

Interesting concept, Impact55. Although, I think that life is too complex to be vertically-linear.

I believe life is more like a chute, continually spiralling downward.

you've got the idea

Life, it seems, will fade away,
drifting farther every day,
getting lost within myself,
nothing matters, no one else,
i have lost the will to live,
simply nothing more to give
there is nothing more for me
i need to end to set me free
-Metallica - fade to black

Seems like a hamster wheel to me.

My life has been a roller-coaster.
Even though it sometimes makes me wanna barf, I'm always game for another ride around.

If life is a ladder, the ladder was manufactured before the need to resort to product warning labeling.

Actually, I agree with WW, it is like a roller coaster....a malfunctioning one. Sometimes, it makes you wanna barf, sometimes, you wanna go around again, but in the end, it derails and you die!

LOL @ Werk!

For me life is a big bag of F-U-N. It can be a ladder, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't have to be.

WW-I hope your roller coaster has become a bit more fun with your *new* riding partner.

Pft, you've got it all wrong, Life is a cereal.
