Life's Little Game

Does anyone have any idea of life's little game?

"The greatest enemy will hide in the last place you would ever look." -Julius Caesar 75BC

He is hiding behind your pain, that which you abhor, that which you disbelieve, that which you fear. Embrace the pain, and you will find him there.

First Rule of Business
"Protect your investment." -Etiquette of the Banker 1775

Rule 1 of any Game
"The only way to get smarter is by playing a smarter opponent." -Fundamentals of Chess 1883

Rule 2 of any Game
"The more sophisticated the game, the more sophisticated the opponent."

"There is no avoiding war, it can only be postponed to the advantage of your enemy." -Niccolo Machiavelli 1502

The more power you think you have, the less power you have in the real world.

"The only enemy to have ever existed is an eternal one." -The Road to Suicide pg 1, line 1

"Your friends are close, but your enemies are closer." -The Road to Suicide pg 1, line 2

Wherever you don't want to go is where you'll find him.

HE disguises HIS thoughts as your thoughts.

HE cannot readily accept or allow anything that he doesn't know from before.

HE treasures knowledge over seeking wisdom.

His cons are used in the present, yet derived from the past and the future.

"Whatever you value emotionally and mentally is where we place our trust in life." -Take me to truth; Sanchez & Vieira

"He would have you think that your emotions drive your thoughts; the opposite is more to your benefit than the prior."

Emotions in and of themselves are not inherently good or bad/positive or negative.

The soul only perceives the body's pain or comfort; pleasure proceeding pain/comfort in the abscence of pain.

There are only two states;
1) Fear
    a) subjective
2) Love
    a) objective

Past and Future are illusions HE uses against you.
