This brought to mind for me a quote from Cy Wakeman, "Stay in joy or leave in peace. There is no third option." I use this quote a lot in coaching and teaching leadership skills to corporate employees. It's not a valid option to stay in the game with grievance, anger, or self-righteousness. That's like drinking poison and hoping someone else dies.
It's important to note that "joy" can be the joy of working to change things for the better. But again, this cannot be done from a place of grievance, it can only be done with a spirit of "invitation to better" and from a place of humility, curiosity, empathy, and belief in others. Everyone gets to have bad moments or bad days, but if you cannot say you are playing (or changing) the game with joy, it's time to go. No third option.
Love it! It seems like asking a lot of questions and thinking about incentives is important to better understand the games we may be playing or opting into.
If we are in a game play honorably following rules and ethics . Compete without corrupting your character .

Well said Jack
Fully aligned with what I have also observed.
There’s a generale tendency to “play without accepting that you are playing” - and then complaining.
I don’t agree with it, but I understand it: it is, simply, far easier.
Accepting that you are playing implies accepting that, if you fail, it’ll be on you.
This is tough.
Far easier to ignore the need for choosing and then complain or accuse “bad luck”, as it requires little effort and let the ego unscathed.
Well said Luca!

Hmmm. I will keep pondering on this, thank you!
