A Jezzball Life

2652040 (lvl 33), grabe, it's not the highest score in the whole Jezzball galaxy, but it's my high score, and it's my first time to get past lvl 15. It's a minor victory for me.

But Jezzball is like life. There's you, the arrow, and you hold the solutions in the form of the red and blue bars you can create. There are problems, as symbolized by the balls. There are opportunities, as symbolized by the space you get to create those traps, and the number of lives you get every round.

You solve the problems, ball by ball. Sometimes, we feel pressured by thinking that we have too many problems that they seem like an unsolvable obstacle, even if they are only composed of little problems. Ball by ball.

In Jezzball, there is the value of patience. If you rush, it would ruin your steps to solve the problem in the best possible way, without wasting opportunities. However, there is running time, so you have to balance your speed in the process. In our life, we have 24 hours in a day, nothing more or less, even if it seems that way sometimes.

And, and there is a big and. We don't notice this at first when there are many balls, you notice this factor that would help you solve the abundance of balls in higher levels, the gray background with little rectangles. There is that background all along that would guide you in trapping those one-Jezzpixel balls in one-Jezzpixel traps (yes, you can do that, the technique of beating higher levels) In our life, that factor is God. We don't usually notice him, but He's there guiding us all along.

I think I had parthenophobia (fear of young girls) back then in high school. Maybe that's why my first and only soiree went up in smoke.
