Mind strike

No doubt that you have heard of a labor strike before.  This concept is a lot like the strike that was written about in Atlas Shrugged.

The thing that is happening these days seems to be that the commentariat likes to push a person's emotional buttons.  So, to combat this, I propose to not participate. I am on strike. I refuse to play along with the games and circuses that are constantly pushed before us all.

It is very seductive, these games.  Therefore, it won't be easy to refuse to partake in the fun and games.

Many years ago, I read this book about games.  It seems that people play these games with each other.  The common thing about games is their dishonesty.

If we could just get some honesty back into our discussions, it may be helpful in solving our problems.  It just doesn't seem to help to get into these games.  The games just makes things worse.

It's probably a lost cause, but what the heck.  There's nothing to lose.  If everybody keeps playing these games, we all lose anyway.
