Conspiracy Theory

Conspiracy Theory

 

why, why, why is big brother this WAY.

Too many strings seem to be detached,

Yet fully attached.

 

Invisible web, many are in debt.

 

Lies upon Lies in deceptive movement.

Black turns White while White turn Black - the unforeseen wavelength.

 

Anyone can be the pawn, who hides in anyone’s lawn.

The Queen seems to be unstoppable.

And the Kings seems to be too vulnerable.

But we could never, never, never see who’s playing the game.

I would like to give my take on this one Pax. Just giving some brush up on the basics. I’m glad you’ve penned this. Full of lessons and interpretations. I’m careful not to turn this into a discourse.

The King is the most valuable piece on the board but also the most vulnerable and handicapped. He’s dependent on his trusted and loyal cabinets for his own safety and protection. In terms of advantage. King is really more of a liability than asset. Part of the strategy revolves around your King's survival and your opponents quick demise. You lose the King you lose the game. The Queen is not the most valuable piece and also not the one in control . Though it’s obvious that she is the most powerful piece on the board. Her mere presence does exerts tremendous influence on the board and all throughout the course of the game. I won’t hide the fact that there’s someone here on this site that has that same influence and charisma which I always respect and admire. Nonetheless, losing a Queen early in the game doesn’t results to immediate lost but a sure sign of a very tumultuous game. Yet anything is still possible. We only lose when we concede and succumb to the irrevocable fate. So fight to the end. Who knows, the tide might turn on our side.

Life is indeed like a game of chess. The role of the Queen on the board is as intriguing as the implication in the game of life. Sometimes though the King is the head and ruler. The Queen sometimes is the one who wears the pants in the house in practical sense as in the case of a domineering wife. Though the man is the head the wife could sometimes be the neck. It can turn the head wherever and whenever she wants to. In real life there could be a reverse role.

Each pieces on the board does represents something, someone or a person in a real life. Depending on the place, position and the role we are designated to play. Often times we find ourselves playing the role of a pawn. Major and minor piece could represent our rank and status in life . Being a pawn sometimes represents the bottom of the food chain. Getting the end of the stick. Insignificant, a nobody. It couldn’t jump like the Knight. Neither to cruise nor the connections of the Rook. Nor has the brain and disposition of the Bishop. Most definitely not the influence and acclaims of a Queen . A pawn is always on the front line, on harms way, the first to fall . They do fire the first shot and draw the first blood and the first casualty on the battlefield. However, The little pawn is the only one that has the opportunity and privilege to be promoted The life of a pawn does represents the life we play and face sometimes. But one day when our life battles and struggles are finally over. When we face the real Game Changer. It does have some happy ending. When a pawn persevered and make it to the end.

It makes me wonder if King Solomon with all his accumulated knowledge and God given wisdom could somehow defeat the strongest super computer and advanced chess program ever known to man? I believe he can. It will be like a child play to him. But in contrast, how did Solomon fared himself in the game of life ? He started well and yet he failed miserably and didn’t finished well. What was his downfall. With his wisdom he couldn’t possibly blunder. Is it possible then that having everything and being everything is not everything ? King Solomon had everything. The pride of life ( success ). His possession ( wealth ). His prestige ( wisest king in the world ) His position ( status ) His prospects ( accomplishments ) and his passions ( meaning of life and of course women ) . It’s unfortunate that the wisest man in the world downfall was a woman. His love for women, foreign women led him astray and away from the first love of his heart. The real Source of everything he had. In the end God did not put His stamp of approval in the life and accomplishments of King Solomon. As a matter of fact he did evil things in the sight of his First Love. ( 1King 11:6 ) Solomon loved women along with their gods and idols.
So an insignificant pawn in the game of life may have something to hope for and look forward to. If there’s a reproach surely there’s a great reward and if the Game Changer will be placing His stamp of approval. The PRIZE and PROMOTION that awaits a pawn on the other side matters as to the way and how the PROCESS was achieved no matter how hard and painstaking it may be.
Sometimes no matter how carefully and meticulously we plan and map our life. It could change on a drop of a hat. Often times we lose first before we win. Just like in the game of chess. But we should never lose heart. For winning is not everything. Its how well we fought our game. How well we played our cards. And how well we finish the game. Don’t matter if we are first or last. The Game Changer, the One that truly pull the string, the One that providentially directs our every moves and steps didn’t promised a smooth ride. Only a safe landing. If we are on His side…

Forgive me, Pax, but I can't resist myself from commenting into this excellent review from Neil which is philosophically and spiritually motivating.

Neil, this is really an excellent review. It took me more time to finish reading and analyzing it and all I can do is to smile because you hit it right. Though we have different interpretations because as you know, I'm not a chess player, and I only relate it to recent events here in the Philippines, I was so amazed by the way you reviewed the piece. There are really times that a short piece speaks volume and a review could be 5x longer than the reviewed piece. LOL
I'm impressed...and I've learned something about chess. But still, I hope in the real life, nobody would PLAY GAMES like what is being done in that game because NOT ALL are born as chess masters. LOL.

Peace be with us! =)

[Pax]

"For winning is not everything." That saying is so true... I can't thank you enough Neil my friend, you've given so much here.

and pretty friend, okay lng, our friend Neil is really something, right? smiles...

[Dhaye]

Nosebleed nga ako eh. Hehehe.

[Pax]

haha, ayan its dripping here as well... lol, wipe it up pretty friend... lol.. ako tinakpan ko na, halos di na maka hinga kasi nakatakip na..lol, ano to kulitan mode..lol

[Dhaye]

I have a headache and I think I need some giggles right now to ease the pain (wow, drama).

[Pax]

drama nga, isang lulok lng ng biogesic niyan, wala na yan..hehe.
or etulog mo lng yan,haha, pahinga kung baga... :)
or kung ehampas mo kaya yan sa pader, mawawala kaya ang sakit :D lol, kidding...

[Dhaye]

LOL. Ansasakit ng muscles ko kaya Alaxan ininom ko. 2 days kasi byahe. Kakapagod talaga. Tapos 5 out of 10 lang pumasa sa NC 2...Huhu! Kinulang sa oras ang mga bata...hindi nakatapos ng tahi ang 5.

[Pax]

haha, dapat may time manage sila niyan, diba... lol, nag shift ang usapan sa ulo to school..hehe, ano pa ang shifting nang usapang ito..hahaha

now let me question you, pretty friend, have you tried playing chess, kahit man lang sa computer?

[Dhaye]

Oo. Hehe. What I do is, when I have a wrong move, I will turn/move back to the previous moves (redo). Oh, di ba? Hehe.

[Pax]

haha, ano yan testing, iba kasi yung chess, no false move..hehe,

[Dhaye]

Eh sa computer nga, may balikan ng moves. Madaya ba? Magaling ang computer eh. Anong laban ko don?

[Dhaye]

Why di mo nire-respond yung review ko sa taas? Dito tayo nag-chat sa thread ni Neil.

[Pax]

haha, pwede rin, ang computer kasi, masyadong computed na yung mga moves niya, basang basa na tayo... wala tayong laban basta naka taas yung difficulty niya..lol, lower mo para panalo for sure...hahaha

[Dhaye]

..........=)

[NeiL ArandA]

Guys what a conversation ! I hope I didn't missed anything :) Well chess is a very interesting game. I'm open to private tutoring. We can talk about the fee later.. LOL . Thanks Pax ..

[Dhaye]

Fee? Pwede naman...fee...so (piso). LOL

[NeiL ArandA]

Kuripot mo talaga . Sige kahit meryenda na lang. Iyung may kulay ha. Ayoko ng kape lang.

[Dhaye]

Coffee has color, too. LOL. =)

[Sugar Plum ♥]

So remarkable and well written piece, dear Pax! I think you are great in provoking minds and thinking, in making allegories..I like the expressions you made here, as Black and White transformation, playing games, allusion with chess , Queen and Kings...Unseen power is everywhere around us, and we can feel that...The field of our mind should be safe only, but is it? and how after that long and strong tentacles of the "power" big spider, makings its net on the earth...Virtual or real the following and spying is everywhere..Our eyes should be always wide open and be prepared for the exact moment. Be in mind, and be prevented, just that i can say. So well written!

:: nour ::
:: novem ::

[Pax]

well said, my dear friend, we must be prepared and also be cautious of our action, you are very perceptive as i knew you were my friend... thank you so much!

[Frieda P]

No way to follow up Neil's review, I'll just say this is an awesome read, makes you think, those conspiracy theories drive me bat shyte crazy.

[Glen Yumang Manese]

I liked the structure...
and the reasoning behind this verse...Pax...
makes an issue and then presents the case...
in full view for the audience...
yet as with a game --- the idea is to win...
as all cost...no matter how you do it...
as long as you win the game...
the aspect to take the Queen...
out of the equation has its price...
but as a King you're a sitting duck...
you give the orders and hope in the end...
when all is done --- no matter how you...
sacrifice the pieces...the intent was all in...
what became of the outcome --- bad or good...
doesn't not matter as long as you win...

[Pax]

ahh, the win or lose scenario... yes, sometimes the player never expect the what's the effect, as long as they win no matter what, then that's all it matters. Thank you so much again for reading this sir glen...I am grateful always...

[Glen Yumang Manese]

You're welcome...even politics is the same way --- Pax...does not matter how you get to be a politician --- you must use your pieces in order to get the position...checkmate...

[costa siwale]

A thought striking piece, enjoyed its flow, well written Pax

[Pax]

thank you so much my friend.

[Lydia Shutter]

I don't play chess so I did not catch the metaphor immediately. However, it is a good one. No, we can never see who is playing the game when it comes to politics, can we? A very clever write and the presentation is artsy...I liked it. Lydi**

[Pax]

Politics indeed, like BR said in his poem they are complex monsters... to categorize the different faces is too complex to understand at times... I am glad you noticed the artsy, it is just me bieng creative, thank you so much my friend, always a pleasure hearing your thoughts about my work.

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

I enjoyed this piece. It directly points out the brilliance shown in all successful conspiracies- secrecy. And that secrecy causes confusion and unity at the same time- confusion because we can't see behind the scenes, and unity because all the perpetrators are successful in carrying out their scheme.

This was a very enlightening piece for me.

[Pax]

Thank you so much my friend. I am amaze on how you see it, glad you see the point of this piece. I am very grateful and thankful my friend.

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goes Cascading!)]

my pleasure :)

[cycy]

food for though, intriguing

[Pax]

Thank you so much, Cycy.

[BlackRose]

Unfortunately this is life. No one likes destruction in the worst and run by complete idiots who have no idea what goes on in the 'real' world. Another phenomenal piece. You write so deeply well. :o)

[Pax]

Thank you so much my friend, indeed you are right. I am glad you are seeing my point too...

[BlackRose]

Very very welcome my friend. lIndeed two minds can think alike sometimes; and nothing wrong with that. :o)
