An interesting comparison. Does it make sense?

...I was just playing a game called, "Spider Solitaire. I was one card away from progressing along on that game, but that particular card was no where to be found. I looked in all the spots around, and finally decided to restart that game, and try again moving the cards differently. So, I tried again. Same result, no progress with that game again. Stuck. I can start a new game, which might work. Or wait a while. Then try a new game. It was the end of the road on that particular formula/game. So I am waiting awhile and starting again soon.
...I didn't win that game, but I have won many before. But waiting will help me regain strength to try again and win. I am honest. (most of the time) I try my best. Waiting for awhile looks like the best bet. I don't want to wait, but I have to. I want to win the game now!!!
...Is that it? Yes, I have to wait awhile and maybe tomorrow play that game again. Sometimes that is the best we can do for whatever reasons there are. I will try that game tomorrow. Yes, I think that is what life often is. Wait awhile and try again.
...I love politics. I follow politics closely and wish for the very best outcome. In 2008 and 2012 the politics that I love.. won. Very happy with an honest, reliable fellow who won for the U.S.A. But now, I have to wait awhile. I don't want to wait, but that is the way politics is played. I have watched this game for over half a century. Yes, there are actions I can do now, but the most important game will not be played for awhile. I have to wait. I don't want to wait, but I have to. I want to win the game now.!!! I am mad that I cannot win the game now, and that I have to wait. I don't like the way my opponents are playing the game now. Our rivals won a couple of years ago, I want to change the situation NOW. I don't want to wait, but I have to. Does this make sense to you? Time to take a short break... Thanks for reading this...
