Playing the game
by Melinda_blog @ Wednesday, Jul. 02, 2008 - 07:42:21

Is it better to string the game out indefinitely, and continue to enjoy playing it for its own sake?
Or, in trying to reach a resolution, to provoke a crisis – knowing that to do so is risky: you may be moving the game on to another level, or you may cause it to crash into the buffers.
How do you make that choice? Whatever you do, you can be sure that things will never be quite the same again.
Maybe it’s easier if you have confidence that there will be other games to play, rather than if you feel as though this is the only game in town.

I guess a zippy mouth isn't helpful :no: Suffice to say I personally don't like playing games. Especially high stake ones!

Message received and understood.
But if you don't play the game, how do you know whether the stakes are worth it?

Ask someone who's just lost at Russian Roulette. Oops you can't!

But they're aware of the odds, and by choosing to play, they've already made that decision.
Who was the famous author who played Russian roulette, survived, took that as an indication that he had been spared for a reason, and then went on to achieve great success?
Something tells me Roald Dahl, but I think it sounds more like something he would have written.
Sure it's a true story though.

But gamblers always think they're going to win. Risking loosing one's money is one thing but ......

Well, I wasn't literally thinking of Russian roulette.
The stake I was thinking of playing with isn't really worth all that much, honestly.
And I'm used to losing. don't suppose once more will make much difference, in the great scheme of things. :no:

Hey, looks like I picked the bullet, but you know what? I'm still in one piece.
And still wearing my slippers.

It wasn't what - or who - you were probably thinking, BTW.
Just a potential distraction.

Funnily enough, I'd posted it before I read playing the game and thought it very apt! :yes:
