A Minesweeperian Perspective

It must be very dull to live life optimally. By which I mean constantly being at your full potential, running down the path of least resistance at full tilt. I don't live like that. I will get stuck in particular ruts for years on end, before eddying back into the gap created in my absence. I live my life like a game of Minesweeper. I pick off one threat at a time. Slowly, cautiously, deliberately, with a lack of knowledge of the wider picture. Then, suddenly, that glorious flash of half the board opening up on a single click. You remember your potential. You realise your goals are achievable. You can win Minesweeper.
