people apply finite rules to infinite games and then wonder why it doesn’t work.

a good example is the vietnam war. the goal of the americans was to win and end the war. the goal of the vietnamese was to stay alive and keep fighting.

you don’t want to “win” in marriage. the point is to stay married.

you don’t win in business, the point is to stay in business.

you don’t just want to get in shape, the goal is to stay in shape.

the point of the game is to keep playing.

so the point of success isn’t to win once but to build something that allows you to keep playing.
