The Corrupted World Of Floyd Banks

Hating the game, not the player

Interesting theory I came up with today. By no means is it unique or my own. Remember the saying, 'Don't hate the player, hate the game' I now understand what it means fully.

Awhile back i got mad because another guy came and started hitting on a girl i was 'with'. Eventually he got through to her and she forgot about me and things haven't been great since. I've always been mad at what happeneed and blamed the guy for it, but now looking at it from another angle, i shouldn't be mad at the guy. Heck, i should be shaking his hand. This guy did nothing wrong. It wasn't his fault i wasn't satisfying my lady enough and it wasn't his fault I gave her a sense of longing for something/someone else different. If i was doing what i was supposed to properly then she wouldn't have reacted the way she did and she wouldn't have gone off with him. He just played the game and he won.

So, am i mad at the player... No. Am i mad at the game? No. In fact i will become a player myself. I realised a long time ago that i can become a very good player, but i've always made the choice not to play the game. Now, i'm going to play the game myself... and i'm going to play very hard. So, if I come across your lady and I whisper sweet nothings in her ear and she falls for it, don't hate me, hate the game.

Guess you could score one for the corrupted side of me....
