At first, checkers seems like a simple children’s game. But give it a more careful look, and you’ll begin to see that checkers is a poignant metaphor for the daily struggle of life. The point of checkers isn’t just to get your piece to the other side of the board; it’s to avoid getting taken out along the way. There are rules to obey, like you can only move in a certain direction. Oh, and there’s an opponent who is actively trying to take your pieces out. Each piece is in a struggle both to survive and to advance.
