Choose your games

Play where you like the rules. Everywhere else, you can opt out.

I remember cracking up at Berne’s “Games People Play” — until I understood all those games are parasites. The win is to notice them and sit them out. You can play anything — why play garbage?

Timothy Leary had it: “Turn on, tune in, drop out.” Drop out doesn’t mean “quit college.” It means “don’t take part.”

You can’t quit life.

I’m here. And I don’t owe them all their rituals or have to do what everyone does.

It’s good that you can stay out of hate. You can opt out of an automatic reaction too — at any moment.

Your remote is in your hands.
