CHECKMATE BABE

why do we willingly celebrate someone else's loss simply because we are victorious?

why does strategy require anticipating and simultaneously planning one's demise? 

think about it babe;

is the game of chess fair? is it equitable? 

does your answer apply to one player or both?

is it not interchangeable with life? 

if life is a game and some play like they're moving their pawns or knights, is it fair to those of us who are here not plotting on others losing?

when we think of G.U.S.S. (God, Universe, Source or Spirit; what ever it is you choose to believe in) most of us assume it comes with the principle of simply good vs evil. but why is it that people who move with malice come out on top? why do they win over and over using the most wicked openings but genuine, good-hearted players lose?

it's because they don't prioritize winning without the consideration of how it will affect others involved. these same people don't use others as a stepping stone to get their desire. whereas the ones routinely putting you in check are preying on your vulnerability. that's what strategy ultimately is babe. 

idk about you but calculated actions to me just feel inauthentic. and disclaimer, no I'm not just butt hurt because I usually lose at the game of chess lol. after unintentionally winning my first game ever I realized winning wasn't as rewarding as I thought it would be. 

what about when we do win on accident? are we still entitled to celebration when we haven't worked for the successful outcome? 

is the win itself more or less genuine? 

what about the person who won? 

is it based solely on how the win is achieved or purely the outcome? 

I pose these questions to you because there's so much more to the game of chess than the eye can see. the only way to win is to predict your opponent's future moves; learning how they play to then alter how you move...stay with me babe. so this means without foreseeing repeated behaviors, you aren't guaranteed a win. same with life, unfortunately a lot of people have come to do the same within business and everyday relationships, again to almost if not guarantee triumph at the cost of a gambit. 

is this not considered foul play? 

we're seeing these behaviors come to light more now after the end of a 9 year, iykyk. as a collective we are slowly waking up to the harsh reality of just how tactical people truly move. so what do we do once we've recognized these malevolent actions and quiet moves? what will this 1 year bring now that we see the blunder that has become of it all? 

deflection, distractions, and decoys will no longer be effective. 

counterplay has begun and will continue to disseminate.
