The first mistake is assuming it's my game alone.
I might feel it's mine because the idea of control often gives me peace of mind. It's only partly my game. Most of it is not.

Second, the rules are constantly changing. What was within the rules yesterday is out of bounds today. Tomorrow it might be okay again.

But just as games have rules, they also have objectives. My objective might be more simplistic than most--that is to say, lead a simple life. If I LOSE, it means I've forgotten to keep it simple.

I think I have to tread this question softly because I have no idea what game are we talking about. Lol.

If it meant a sporting game- then the answer or answers can be either one of the following:
1. I underestimated my opponent.
2. He/She made some moves that I have no defense or expertise against.
3. This experience will teach me that those moves exists so next time I meet with someone who use that against me, I will know how to counter or block them and make them ineffective.
4.I did not practice or it was my off day, and I was sick . It happens.

Now, if the "game" was something different and this is where I may be fuzzy in comprehension, then it is possible that one or two of my answers might apply anyway.

The problem with me, Enki, is that I CARE about everything in my life around me a little too much at times. And because of that, I haven't the ability to apply a healthy amount of emotional detachment for a more objective (and sensible) outlook on the things that I do.

That's the thing with a person that has too much enthusiasm going in her life; sometimes I get too far ahead of myself, I tend to overdo everything it is that I do and in the end, oftentimes, I would accidentally trip myself up right at the finish line because of this.

And it hurts way too much when I witness the things that I care or worked for slip right between my fingers because I don't have a pair of hands large enough to encompass everything that I cherish in this life. I would then blame myself for my own lack of foresight, that I should have been able to salvage the situation somehow.

I've always thought that caring was a good thing. But then why does caring sometimes hurt so much, Enki?

Well, my game plan was to stay back a distance from relationships and letting people really know me. Turns out I can't do that because I am the type of person who needs exactly what I am avoiding. What makes me lose is needing to give and receive affection and love.
In the end though, I am a winner for finding this out and learning from it.

Hi enki. : )

Unawareness.
The important point is that the GAME is IMAGINARY, and is not the TRUTH of life.
We just make the game and play the game by MISTAKE and IMAGINATION.
When we realise that the GAME and PLAYING the game is POINTLESS; So,we should not create (an imaginary) game therefore, there won't be any (imaginary) loss or win.
Finally, MAKING and PLAYING our OWN (imaginary) GAME is wasting the time and is useless, and (imaginary) LOSE of this GAME, is worse and a double frustration.

Hello my Enki Binki :)))))


When you cheat yourself in the game :)) or when you cheat period and take the easy way out instead of playing fairly because you want to win so badly :))))

When all you can think about is winning and you are not having fun anymore the game is suppose to make you have fun but when it becomes to serious and makes you depressed and unhappy you start to doubt you capability in the game and then you can lose because of this :)))

It's your game, so you follow the self-imposed rules. Others aren't really playing your game, so they follow a different set of rules. One of which is generally, you lose. If you have the rule."I always win", then conflict ensues and you both have lost the game, unless that was the "real" object of the game. In which case, you both may have "won".

losing a game is one thing but losing own game is a delicate mater. in fact it is connected in direct form with our emotions in that moment about that how invincible we are in that moment. most of the times our emotions are the ones that we should blame for our negative result in our game. and very rare our capabilities. maybe only 10 percent

well
i have learnt
the more you lose the game the more you have command over that game.
i usually lose the game and i keep on challenging and my rival keep on thinking that she enjoys defeat
no
actually i try to get grip over my weakness in the new game and i try to keep on learning technicalities and try to learn and apply different methods in a game.
then if my rival has defeated me thrice i defeat her three hundred times not her but others too
if you think that it is an insult then you will never learn it.
children are better than us
one day a child fell from his bicycle and his mother forbade him to be on bicycle again but what did he say?
if i am afraid from falling then i will never lift myself up?
i was shocked and impressed.
