This blog is about gamesmanship. As humans, we all play games to minimize the chaos that confront us each day here on earth. The game of politics and the game of religion are the primary drivers that are supposed to make sense of the chaos but neither of these seems to have a solution for our dilemma. When I was young, I was willing to accept the premise that there actually was a solution. At this point in my life, I have concluded that this search has no plausible ending on earth because the games just go on, waxing and waning like the moon.
One morning
two Dobermans appeared at my back gate. Mama
and Baron, as I named them, became adopted family members and friends. Even these dogs play games. They get regular chewy dog bones when they go
outside and the games begin. Sometimes
the bones are devoured immediately but some are buried in the sand for future
rewards. The game they play is about
digging and finding the bones that one or the other has secured in the sand.
Are we much
different? Could it be that our simplistic
world view of how things work is at fault?
Is there a more plausible explanation for the chaos? Do the games we play have another worldly or other worldly purpose?
