Snake & ladder

Today as I stepped out of my house, I found little kids throwing the dice and playing the indoor game " snake and ladder". It was a flashback on my childhood days, the funny, cunning moments playing with my brothers and friends to win the game and always safe from the mouth of snake.


But the thought that came to my mind, is there any significance of learning which we forget to teach or to learn from the game of snake & ladder ?


We just try and use all the means that are available by hook and crook to win the game. As I started reflecting on the game and its teaching or leaning with respect to the life and this world we live - I can correlate every hiccups, troubles, misunderstandings, greed, diseases are snakes that always brings pains and sometimes becomes the barricade for progress . But empathy and sympathy are the ladders that gives us Joy for happiness in life.


However human nature is something that gets satisfied, and greed goes high every time. We always play to win but not lean the hidden meaning in it.
The best example of real life scenario of the game of snake and ladder is the corporate office, every one - Good, Bad and Ugly wish to climb the ladder of success - the ladder here is knowledge, skill and attitude to do the best. But the snakes at the corporate sector is favorism, politics, bulling, etc.
