What can life be compared to?

Death..<<non function of life. We live and we die and in between we laugh and cry. Life+death=life..we live again as many religions have taught. It's not in the dying it's in the living that concerns many people. Most people think death as a negative and living as a positive therefore U can use these as comparitives but not the only ones available.  Death should be a positive, for when we die we go to a better place as taught by biblicial scholars. So enjoy life and follow the straight and narrow and U will soon find the real comparitive.

A bowl of cherries; mostly good, but unfortunately there are pits that should be avoided. But sometimes we make the wrong decision or life may not be fair and then we get the pits. 

Compare to a RPG, role playing game: you meet people, face quests, collect object, make assumptions and build a reputation.

At the end, there is the scoreboard, which is not just dependant on your bigger mistake, rather, is a of the sum of your actions ;) 

And everybody hopes to be al least "+1" over "0", right ?

OK, it not the most aesthetic answer you'll get here, but I think it's funny: life if like the hairs on the ass: they're short, they're hard and they stink.
