Playing Games

I never cease to be amazed at the games people play, the lengths they will go to to try to manipulate things to their own advantage and try to turn things about so they can have what they want.

All to often it is easy to blame other people/events/circumstances for what is happening in your life but when we are totally honest with ourselves and those around us we see that the blame is actually ours. Sometimes we have unrealistic expectations, we want things a certain way - well just because that is how we want them and that is as far as we should need to delve into the reasons why.

I see the games being played, the things being said or done and i smile to myself initially but then i start to look at me, am i like that ? is that how i behave ? is that something that i do ?

Sometimes i can see those same traits in myself and that scares me, scares me because i don't want to be that person, i don't want to play those games but i guess its human nature to want what the other person has but when you see the whole picture, well i guess they don't have everything you imagine they do.

I see so much of the same games being played online and it has got to the stage i will not go into chat rooms or on forums anymore because i want to live my life in the here and now and not in the 'virtual' world but more and more the games that were once only played online are working their way into the real world and that is worrying to me, just because it makes it harder and harder to actually have a relationship with a 'real' person.

We all want the slice of cake that we think we deserve, we all crave what someone else has, but realistically - Do we really ? Or do we want what we THINK they have ?
