Rigged Choices

It’s a common thing I hear at the arcade I work at. “The games are rigged aren’t they?” “Man, I couldn’t get the prize, so rigged.” And many others to go along with those. What a lot of them don’t get, is that they aren’t rigged. No, I’m not paid to be saying that. They literally are NOT!!!!! What’s rigged, are your choices in life.

Now you’re probably beginning to wonder what exactly I’m meaning by, “rigged”. It’s just what it sounds like. Everything you do, affects the outcome of next to every situation that goes on in your life. Friends you have, relationships you go through, family closeness, and whatever else you can think of.

Rigged – To manipulate dishonesty for personal gain.

Unfortunately, there are other meanings for that word. But that best fits this situation. Luckily though, that definition can easily be changed. Cause its not always dishonesty. You can even manipulate honesty. Which is what everyone calls a, “lie”.

- The reason you didn’t get the prize, is because you didn’t position the claw over the prize properly. Or just because you plainly suck after the 3rd or 4th try. (sorry if offended. but honest truth when you game in life)
- Didn’t get your dream job? By chance did you take the steps that was needed to get this dream job? No? Well gosh, there’s your problem.
- Didn’t mean to speed, eh? Then why did you do it? Oh a lame excuse. Yea, I’ve heard that one before. Here’s your ticket. Be here on that date, that time, with that much money in hand.

Just a few examples that everything you do, has a consequence. Or multiple consequences. Make sure you choose your words carefully. And make sure your actions are also the same as what you preach. No one likes a hypocrite. Don’t become one and ruin your life.
