LIFE GAME 分享

-Pte. 黄俊贤 -

Life Game是一个虚构性的游戏。它是在反映着一个人生的过程与经历，所以每个玩家在玩Life Game时，就好像在过着自己的一生。在Life Game的进行下，玩家也会跟着成长，同时也会面对着许许多多的选择和困难，如：升学、考试、找工作、毕业、破产、生病、结婚、生孩子、年老、甚至死亡等等。因此，Life Game的全程，就如同一生的开始与结束。而且Life Game是要让玩家透过游戏来了解一生中可能要面对的选择、困难和风险。而且，让玩家了解在他的生活打拼时，他会得到什么？也会失去什么？直到生命后，他不能保留什么。透过一次的机会，我能够参加Life Game，而且我也从中学习到不少的经历。

在Life Game里面，我是一个小小的商人。我不是帮人打工，也不是什么大老板。我的收入是透过一点点的基金来购买货品，然后转卖给其他的玩家。所以比起其他帮人打工的玩家，我更需要努力来赚取生活费。再说，我的学历不高，因为我没有钱考试，所以我不能转做其他的工作。因此，在整个Life Game里，我都是不断地工作、赚钱、工作、赚钱，直到死亡。但是我也从中发现了许多在我真实生活中发生，但我却不去留意的事情，同时，我也发现我在Life Game和现实生活中有时忘记或忽略的事情。

正如我所说的，在Life Game里，我是一个为生活而忙碌的商人。在每个回合开始时，只是代表游戏的铃声一响起，我就要以最快的速度到批发商那里去买货，然后我还要去购买生活必需品，去交税再去赚钱，直到那个回合结束，我才能停下来。我想了一想，不管现实生活还是Life Game，都是一样的。我每天都是重复有重复地做同样的事情，过同样的生活。我就好像没有方向的小羊，不断地在原地打圆圈。我每天忙碌又忙碌，是为了追求更满足的生活，可是到最后我得到什么？我又做了什么？每个人在肉体上都有一死，只要我的肉体死去，我有什么东西可以带走呢？金钱？地位？名声？没有一件我能带到上帝面前。在地上的一切财富，都将化为尘土，只有天上的财富永远长存。

这是我在Life Game深深感受到的，因为我只顾追求满足的生活，但却忘了我真正要的是一个有意义的生活。因为只顾追求地上的财富，却忘记在天上等着我的财富，也忘记了身为基督徒要完成的使命。

在这个Life Game里，我发现了我做了一个让我很后悔的事。在这个Life Game的场地里，有一个小角落是间小教会，里面的人很常都会在聚会、唱诗歌、读经等等。在这个角落虽然每个人都可以看得到，但不多人知道那是一间教会。为什么我会知道？那是因为我都是在那一区流动，但我都没有去参与，我只知道自己要忙着做生意。

有一次，我经过那间教会时，那边的传道人邀请我进去聚会。但我却跟他讲“我很忙”。我在不知不觉中，把这三个字从我口中说了出来。也许不只在Life Game，可能在我的现实生活中，我已经对主说了无数次的“我很忙”、“我没空”，也有多少人因为“我很忙”离开了教会。所以经过Life Game后，我告诉自己，我以后不要再用“我很忙”来回应主了。

不只是这些，我还发现一个很不错的经历。特别是对我这种温室里的少年，并不知道赚钱的辛苦。每天只会饭来张口，衣来伸手，不知道父母在外面赚钱是多么的辛苦。但是在这个Life Game里我的确是深深地感受到。因为在Life Game里我们的生活物品都要靠自己赚来的钱去买的，所以心里总有种不舍得花，不花又不行的感觉。不单如此，我们还有其中两天的午餐是依我们的等级来领取我们的食物。共有分四级，第一级是最好的，里面有菜、有肉；第二级是只有肉；第三级只有菜；最后一级只有白饭加菜汁。而我那两天白饭加菜汁的味道，真的是甜在嘴里，苦在心里呀！

我希望透过我的见证，能让大家了解Life Game，也希望大家能对Life Game动心。不管你是男女老少，Life Game都欢迎你。如果有机会去Life Game，给自己一个机会，给身边的人一个机会，带他们一起去Life Game潇洒地走一回吧！阿们。
