Mutual defection or mutual cooperation?
We both choose.
But the thing is, the moment we take advantage of other people's weaknesses, we are creating problems not only for the others but for ourselves as well.
We may think that we are storing up riches for ourselves but in the long run, the wrongs that we did will come right back to our face.
Card games, board games, the day to day lives that we live, we are all playing.
When a person knows how to compute his/her payoff, tendency is that person will know what moves to take. But that's not the end of the story. As we all play, we eventually arrive at a situation where we have better beliefs of each other's.
No matter, we tend to arrive at a point where we believe will lead us to better place.
Talking about taking advantage of other people's fears will eventually lead us to our destruction. Worse is the disruption of other's lives and peaceful worlds.
The moment we become selfish is the moment we become destructive unto ourselves.
We play either at another's cost or another's benefit. But if we choose the latter, we are also benefiting ourselves. Choose the former and both parties will be unhappy.
So ending? Choose to live life with God as our anchor.
I hope we all have a great night. Let's pray for hope for the human race.
