Games People Play: The End Game
ACCEPTANCE
According to many, Games People Play is perceive to point the negative side of human nature. Why do we continue to play games? Is this our way of escaping to reality? Yet, this is not Dr. Eric Berne's intention in making his book. He notes that all people can leave in game playing. Well, in my point of view only very seldom individuals can leave the game playing. I think, only those individuals who reach self actualization from Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs will be able to get over with games.
We continue to play the game because this can be our way to escape from negative experiences. We continue to play game because this is our way of accepting positive situations in our life. Thus, we play games in times of our extreme emotions. The games is important in our life as long as we interact. During social interactions we play games because we can not easily let go. Since we cannot move on directly, we make sure that while interacting we are going to play our role. While moving on, we continue to remember how we interact during that event. These games will serve as our weapon as we journey in life. Going through different experiences, we need to show courage and face what is intended to us because we are capable individuals. Human beings as we are, we need to fight. We need to accept what is due to us. Wherever we go and whatever we do our end game is to ACCEPT.
Acceptance is the key. We are born to live with greater awareness. Through games by the means of social interaction, we are able to know ourselves better. We can never leave behind our natural confidence, spontaneity and curiosity. We will always go back to where we are comfortable at. As a conclusion, because of this end game we will always consider others in times of adversity and success in our life.
