Games
Have you ever noticed how many games we play are competitive? That makes it more exciting of course. We like to have winners and losers. The extreme emotions of elation and disappointment make us feel more alive. Besides, we enjoy the battle of wits, skills and strength. But it does reinforce a win-lose psychology in society. Can you think of any games that are designed to be co-operative? And I don’t mean co-operation within one team against another team, but games where all players win; where collaboration is the skill needed to excel. Could helping others be reward enough?
