The Game of Money

The game of money is an extreme sport with inherent risks and unpredictable outcomes. Winners and losers are separated not only by skill, but by the tenacity to endure. The rules constantly change, and the referees appear unconvinced by their own verdicts. Shifting goal posts and unfair advantages have become commonplace as the default mode is to win at all costs.

To play the game solely out of self-interest can be a double-edged sword. Focus too narrowly on short-term gains, and long-term opportunities evaporate. Forego immediate gratification and gain no guarantee of lasting satisfaction. The game is best played on terms of the collective, even though we rarely share common ground.
