:: Art of the game ::

'Sometimes we are sure of the person we love, yet its easy to fall in love with another because the game of seduction is always the most interesting game.' - The Zahir, Paulo Coelho.

I posted this quote on one of my January entries.
The meaning reveals itself in a most unexpected turn of events.
The game of seduction could only be played if you know the rules.
Its a high-stake game. A game that not only manipulates the mind but also the emotions.

I've played two roles before.
One as a 'bitch', the other a loyal gf.
Having been in both shoes, I realised unless you are a woman with zero emotions - you could never be a player.
No matter how liberal we are, gender equality is still nonexistent.
Men, in general, could easily be qualified as better cheaters than women.
The reason? The ability to comparmentalize and putting forth priorities narrows their chances of getting caught.

A loyal gf who'd been deceived could easily turn to become a bitch.
A bitch who'd been swept away by a good man could easily turn to become a loyal gf.
So everything depends - you are capable of becoming anyone. The happy bitch or the suffering loyal gf.
Then the saddest realization hit you, feelings and emotions are no longer in your vocabulary.
And you are sailing life being an ice queen.

If games dont promise us wins, why are we still playing them?
