I just lost the game. I just lost the game. you know. the game. THE GAME. and of course i have bad news for you, and everyone else who is watching this. You all just lost the game too. So now for those people who are confused and somehow do not know that they are playing the game, let me explain the rules. There is a game called The Game . You are always playing it and there is no way to win. But if you think about the game, then you lose the game. At first I thought the game was really dumb. Saying You just lost the game is a self forfilling statement. If you read that statement then you have lost. And it's kind of interesting that there is a statement that forfills itself. But mostly it's not interesting. Mostly it's just annoying. But over the years of begrudgingly playing and losing and thus thinking about the game I have come to realize that the game is really more than a way for 12 year old boys to eercize some tiny and meaningless sense of power over other people. The really facinating thing about the game is the only way to win is to not know you are playing. And thus I must appologize to the people who I just introduced the concept of the game to. But that idea that you're always winning until you know you're playing is actually a fascinating bit of distilled wisdom about the folley of humanity. Where as the internet troll may say "the game. You lost it." The truth of that statement is that in all desire and in some ways all knowledge leads to loss. It's strange that one of the main principals of buhdism is hiding inside an internet meme, but there you have it. It's true of every game, and of every thing. If you play, you lose. The only way not to lose is to not know the game exists. and The game is every where, i see it every where now. Take an example. An academic scholar, they're really smart people. and their only desire is to get published in academic journals that you've never heard of. And to be recognized by other scholars that you didnt know existed. And when they finally get published, all they want is more. It doesnt matter what game you're living for. If you're living for it, you'll never win. The game can be anything. It can be the desire for fame, or money, or romantic conquest. The game can even be the desire for good things, like ending poverty or having a really happy healthy family. recognizing this about the game, that we're all playing and that we're all losing, has made me realize that what's really important is that we're all playing the right game. because you cant win. Every marriage that doesnt end in devorce ends in death. There is no way not to lose fights, that doesnt mean that there arent fights worth fighting. But it does mean that thinking that the only way you'll ever be happy is if you win is the surest way of never being happy. You just lost the game, and you're going to spend the rest of your life losing the game. The only way to win is to not care if you lose. And that is what i got from spending way too much time losing the game.
