on Jan 3rd, 2008What Monopoly teaches you about life
It’s interesting that a simple game of monopoly teaches us so many life lessons.
Life lesson 1: Be nice. So others would be nice to you too [when you land on their expensive properties].
Life lesson 2: Monopolise. That’s the end game my friend, to own everything you can possibly own.
Life lesson 3: It’s not good to be bankrupt and forced to mortgage everything you own.
Life lesson 4: Land is everything. As my boyfriend nicely puts it “Gravity. Money is where land is.”
Life lesson 5: Know who to alliance with. I was allianced with the board’s richest property owner whom exchanged immunity with me if we land on each other’s properties.
Life lesson 6: Jail is a nice place to be if all else fails. At least you’re not paying rent on other people’s property!
Life lesson 6 may be funny and an exegerration, but think about it. If you’re broke, society have abandoned you, you’ve got no where else to go… the prison provides you with shelter and food. I’ve actually heard stories (donkey years ago) that some bangladash workers actually want to go to jail in Singapore because it beats living in their country. You get food, shelter and most basic nessecities provided for, why not?
