recently, i was given an idea. it was the conclusion of a discussion on how to look at life and situations in such a way as to not declare a winner. it involves not having any expectations when you enter an encounter with another person. sometimes life puts you in a place where "take what you can" seems to be the only way to walk away not not feel like you lost. instead of thinking about it like that, someone could "share all that they can". with this in mind, the encounter stops being about winning and loosing, or about conquering or dominating or consuming. instead you end up playing a game in which there is no winner, and the game continues all the same for the players.
sometimes you end up hoping that you can get to a situation where you can do that, before you are forced to quit on account that the hand that ended up dealt to you would break the bank.
