There's Not a Restart in Life

     "You don't get another chance; life is no Nintendo game," by Marshall Mathers,(also known as Eminem) is one of my favorite quotes. When he sings this in his song, "Love the Way You Lie" he really knows what he's talking about. "You don't get another chance," is saying that, in life there are no second chances. "Life is no Nintendo game," is saying that, unlike a video game you don't have a restart button. You can't have re-do's, or replays in life, it doesn't work that way. You have one chance do something, so you have to do the right thing the first time. For example, say you need money, and instead of getting a job you steal money from a store, and wind up arrested. You can't just say your sorry and live your life like nothing happened. You're stuck in a jail cell for 10 years with no way out. In addition to that, you've lost your wife/husband, kids, family, friends, and any respect that you've ever earned all because you were too lazy to get a job. You can't erase what happened and re-do it, you don't get a second chance. Wouldn't it have been a lot easier to just do the right thing the first time?

    I totally agree with that if you do the right thing the first time then it would save you a whole lot of trouble in the long run, but i also think that we get second chances. God gives second chances. In the story of Jonah God says to him go and talk to the Ninavits, now the Ninavites were the like the people the people that you would find in Angola. So Jonah runs away and you know the rest of the story. In the end God gives second chances to Jonah and the Ninavites. People with the most horrible past can have renewal in Christ.

    This quote is very true. "Life is no Nintendo game" is saying, like Kirsten said,that you do not get 're-dos'in life. This quote has a double meaning for Eminem though, given his troubled, drug-filled past. He knows how his mistakes affected his wife and kids and he cannot take it back.

    I agree with this. So many people think that if they make a mistake, it's okay and they can redo, but that's just not true.
