You got me. You’ve done it. You’ve won.
Because that is the game we were playing, yes?
No?
Because there are rules.
Rule #1: Don’t admit to the game. It doesn’t exist.
Rule #2: Play to the rules of the game or you will be excluded.
Rule #3: We are all playing the game.
Rule #4: You cannot win.
If you win, you lose. Where is the fun in that?
You are supposed to have fun. That is part of the game.
Why aren’t you having fun?
You’re not winning, you know.
Have you played the game?
Have you, given in?
Are you, playing the game?
Are you, giving in?
Pretending to care about a game you cannot win?
My life is a game. My life is THE game.
I cannot win. Or I will lose.
Have you played the game?
Are you, playing the game?
I am.
I
