I was out having a bit of Turkish dinner and some dessert on Sunday night and the final screening of ‘The Block’ was on all the TVs in the restaurants.

TV entertainment has shifted away from the manufactured shows and soap operas to ‘Reality Drama’.  But look deeply into any reality show and you can see that all the drama has been manufactured to capture the attention of the viewers. And the majority of us are willing to accept only the parts that survive the film editor’s crop as the true picture of what is going on..

Music is a form of entertainment that is universally enjoyed in a playback format. We can get engrossed in a piece of music without seeing the performers. It is such a distorted version of reality where we happily forget about sight altogether and accept that sound is all there is.

It was not too long ago when we were happy to accept a flat world. Then electricity was discovered, and it is now an essential element of our world – but not many of us know how electricity works. We are just happy to turn the switch on and be rewarded by power.

There are more unanswered questions than documented discoveries in our world today – but we happily get up every morning and go about our lives – without knowing much about what is really going on…

And this is because we do not need to have all the pieces before the game of life can be fun.

A major component of our enjoyment of life comes in the form of sports. Yet, in soccer, the players are not permitted to hold the ball. Tennis players have to hit the ball over the net and not let it go beyond a set of lines. There are still people looking for Cancellara’s electric motor because bike racers are only supposed to pedal their bikes.

We deliberately impose limits when we design our games to make it fun.

When life was invented, it was designed as a game. And for games to be fun, parts had to be removed and limits imposed. So, if you wake up one day and feel that there is something missing from your life. Then you are right.

Some of us go in search of the full picture. But whether we succeed or not – we always come back to the game of life on planet earth.

We all know that to make a bike go faster, all we need to do is put a motor in it. But instead, we spend all our’ bike life’ looking for the fastest aero wheels, the lightest components, the best drugs, the stiffest shoes and the most efficient pedalling style.

We gave permission for politicians to make rules for us and lawyers to police them. It has nothing to do with making life safer. It is all about inventing a set of rules to allow the game to be played with more intensity.
