I feel that I do have the opportunity to move forward, but that the only way I will get to progress is for someone to give me that little push. Whilst I may get off to a flying start, I could very easily be stuck in the same place for quite a while, as a sitting duck, but if I advance too quickly, I may be pounced on by someone in a higher place than myself. I am one of many, and my role is seemingly utterly pointless, as regardless of the fact that I COULD play tactically and use others on my level to get a leg up, in a sacrificial way, I am still never going to be able to move in a way that will put me at the top.
But being at the top isn't the point, is it? I COULD use others to get to a higher plateau, but ultimately, through the eyes of a person of higher position, and in reality, I am still a lowly pawn. I am restricted whilst they can move more fluently - some to wherever they wish. I am not likely to be utilised but one of the most likely to be sacrificed. I am only allowed to change direction when it suits others, and feel as if I have no control of myself whatsoever.
God, I hate Chess!! I'm gonna take up Draughts....
