that life is like a chess game. When two people are playing chess, right? If you're one side, I'm on the other side. I have no right to move your pieces. It's not like a MIDDLE OF THE GAME. I DON'T LIKE WHERE YOUR QUEEN IS, SO I'M TAKING your queen. Doesn't work that way. You could never touch the pieces of another person. If you do, you're out. The only pieces I could move is my own. But here's what happens. When I move one of my pieces, you are forced to change your dance. It's so true in life. You know, we think, "Let me move the other person's piece. I'm going to move your pieces. We're going to move my kids piece. I'm going to move my husband's pieces, my pieces, my pieces, my brother, my sister, to my neighbor, everybody. I can't move anybody's pieces. Sorry. But there's one one one person's pieces I could move. It's called me.
