The Game

It cannot be avoided.
I cannot tell you how many intelligent people there are, I cannot tell you how many people in the world are poor or rich but one thing I can say for certain is that there are two types of people. The chased and the chaser.
Everybody is always talking about finding their true love and settling down. On the surface of things, that is true but looking deeper into the meaning of 'love' and 'settling down', it becomes clear that nobody is ever truly settled or in love. Love comes in many forms or ways, the angle for today is the mentality behind the challenge.
No matter how comfortable you are, you will always play games with your other half. It comes in many shapes and sizes. From the meaningless teasing to fully destroying someone's personality and confidence. Sub-consciously we are always competing with our partner.
Many will have asked the same question: "Why?"

The mind is always thinking and if we don't give it enough of a challenge, it will begin to retaliate. Deep down we all know our true potential and we also know that we are never being pushed enough to achieve that potential. So we turn to our instincts; I attack you, you attack back. We hope for a response that will make us step up to the mark and show are 'alpha status'.

So why our partner?

The answer is simple, they are nearby and we believe that they will stick around no matter what. At this stage, the comfort zone has already been entered. The routine has kicked in and the 'butterflies' have stopped.

Freedom is engaging the game, finding an opponent that is on your level and who is able to keep up with the challenge. This is true 'love'.
The moment either one of you breaks, the game is over. Move on.
