Loved this quote from the book

“There is a contradiction here: If the prize for winning finite play is life, then the players are not properly alive. They are competing for life. Life, then, is not play, but the outcome of play. Finite players play to live; they do not live their playing. Life is therefore deserved, bestowed, possessed, won. It is not lived.” that was posted in this blog post recently https://www.youngmoney.co/p/infinite-games

For me the difference in what game you choose to play is a result of your mindset - are you seeing people you play with in life, or do you se objects/ obstacles that you have to win over.

That difference makes a huge difference in your behaviour, a person is treated with respect and love - an object is pushed, beaten, removed.

So, i ask myself, how would I like to treated, like a person or an object?
