#zero sum games

I've sacrificed too much of my life in his name already. The rest of my life, every second of it, is mine to use as I see fit.

"I'm not particularly interested in taking a male character and having a woman play it. I think women are far more interesting than that."

- James Bond producers this week on why they’ll never cast a woman for the role. 

FAR LESS MORE INTERESTING WOMAN CHARACTER:

PERSONA NON GRATA A personality can be a defense mechanism. From sublimation and rationalization to regression and projection, even acting out and disassociation sometimes.

What is a 'Zero-Sum Game'?

Zero-sum is a situation in game theory in which one person’s gain is equivalent to another’s loss, so the net change in wealth or benefit is zero. A zero-sum game may have as few as two players or millions of participants.

For when I am weak, then I am strong.

My strength does not detract from your strength, nor does it detract from anyone else's strength. That's not how strength behaves. But in Christianity, my weakness was highly valued. My weakness was the key to God's power. And any strength I displayed was seen as a flaw in that world. I was in a zero-sum game where I had to exchange my strength for God's strength.

Again, this is not how strength behaves! God should be able to be strong without our sacrifice (unless he's some kind of strength vampire which would make sense, not in a way that actually makes sense but in a "oh, right, none of this makes sense" way).

Christianity really messed with my definitions of words. I keep repeating to myself "For when I am strong, I am strong." It seems so intuitive: x=x. But my intuition was screwed up by the twisted perception I was raised in. Now, I have better tools to feel, value, and nurture my strength. There's still a lot of room to grow, but hey, that's just what being alive is like!
