The Long Road

03/26/2003 Archived Entry: "The Game"

There's a game I play.

Winning the game lands you the prize that most men covet. The prize doesn’t want to be won and the opponent is relentlessly stubborn. The rules of the game are simple and the winning strategy is simple, but the road to victory is long and arduous. Each time the game is played, strategy goes out the window; frustration and instinct take over leading to impotent lashing out. The result is always a bitter defeat, but never bitter enough to make me quit, nor to make me follow the strategy all the way through.

I should play another game, one I can win (like Warcraft), but the prize is there. It teases me. It taunts me. It haunts me. E-ve-ry-day.
