Have you ever considered that life is like a grand chessboard, where every decision you make leads to a unique outcome? Within this system, there are hierarchies, and your position depends on your abilities, much like the chess pieces. The rook moves forward, backward, and side to side, symbolizing straightforwardness and stability. The bishop moves diagonally, representing a more indirect but still powerful approach. The queen, with her ability to move in any direction, embodies beauty, power, and the broad spectrum of opportunities available to her. The king can only move one step at a time, each step carrying the weight of influence over the entire game, his opportunities confined by the reach of his pieces. However, the pawns, often considered the least valuable, hold immense power. They are the ones who create openings and change the game. Despite being underestimated, once they cross to the opposite end of the board, they can transform into any piece that was lost, symbolizing the potential for growth and transformation. Thus, life is indeed a chessboard, a complex interplay of moves and strategies where every piece, no matter how small, has the potential to change the course of the game.

I kind of did. Just wondered how people downplay superficialy none significant aspects of life and small events. And what if our small everyday decision we are soon to forget actually line up to something actually, objectively grand or important. But then I cringed at myself cause considered it being pretentious. I like your analogy though.
