Well, I can see that no one really cares to post on this issue here, so I will somewhat repeat myself from my sight. I think your analogy brakes down on two levels:
A: Even in this game we know the end. We have the goal before us. We DO have the "Grander plan in front of us", and we can see how everthing fits in with everything else. That's kind of the point of tetris. We know how to play we know how to win, we know how to acheive our goals. So tetris is and isn't like life in that respect, dpending upon your greater worldview.

B: Tetris is a one player game. And this is the mentality that I'm writing against. You are the only one being affected by what is going on, you're the only one that matters, no one else matters. This is the mentality of many people who set themselves up as the center of the universe, be it their own universe. Everything is about them, no one else really matters, and rarely does the concept of really helping others around us cross our minds. Sure, our hearts are pricked when we see people in need from the comfort of our couches or our cars, but we don't do anything about it. Or perhaps our consciences are not pricked and we really don't care about hurting people here or around the world, at least that's an honest answer. You would have to make tetris a multi-player game in which your goal is to help everyone else.

C: You responded on my site that tetris can be a multi-player game. But even in that analogy the goal is still to think only of yourself and how you can thwart the other player, defeating them and taking all the glory for yourself. And isn't this the problem? At the heart of man is a selfishness that runs very deep. We all want things to go our way, we want control, and when we feel as if we don't have it, or are reminded that we do not have it, it is not a good day or situation. Sure, we do interpret things as individuals and mostly as it relates to us. However, I would argue that it is possible to have a larger world view than one that simply puts me at the center of creation.

In Christianity, we know how it ends, we know the goal, we have a bigger picture in which to operate. The Glory of God is our Goal in the exaltation of Jesus Christ. Now we can have a mind for our brothers and sisters around the world. Sure, we love ourselves primarily in the sense that we take care of ourselves. Even Jesus said the second greatest commandment (behind "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind") was "Love your neighbor as yourself". Jesus took into consideration that we do indeed love and take care of ourselves, but Christ was trying to get us to see beyond merely our own circumstances.

Just some thoughts. I'm glad you're ok, and hope that things get worked out with the car. Not to try to read into everything, but maybe this was a reminder that you're not in control? Perhaps not the thing you want to hear, but it's the truth friend. Praying for you always brother. And though you may hate me I love you man. Oh, and nice clown face. Oh and go look at my response to Adam's second to latest post. It made me laugh, and that all that's important right? ;)
