Ready, Get Set, Play!

I was talking to some friends a few weeks back. We agreed that women by nature are emotional creatures. As much as we say we could play the game side by side with the men, we always end up whether consciously or unconsciously, emotionally involved. I think I have to agree that women can’t be players because the more we gamble, the more we can’t get out of the game. It’s like digging a big hole for ourselves. The more we play along, the more we realize it’s not that fun to play anymore. It’s a lot like playing too many rounds of a bad poker game. You’re winning the first few rounds and you think, ‘alright!’ but come the latter part, you start losing all the money that you initially won and you start thinking, ‘this sucks!’. And suddenly it stops being fun anymore. It makes you want to stop the game and not play anymore. We think playing for fun would have lesser risks and repercussions as opposed to being serious about something, but come to think of it, it’s all just the same…We become so attached to the game that we actually end up losing and for some, hurting.

So before deciding to play the game, ask yourself what’s in it for you. Ask yourself what you want out from it. If none, then don’t play. Don’t go into a game looking for something because you won’t find it there for sure. Don’t waste your time. Don’t waste your heart. The game is not worth it.
