Finite and Infinite Games.
(5)
Sip. Concerning the concept of 'life games' I would also like to recommend Finite and Infinite Games, by James P. Carse. (A vision of life as Play and Possibility.)
'There are at least two kinds of games. One could be called finite, the other infinite. A finite game is played for the purpose of winning; an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.'
And here are other tantalizing quotes from this glorious book:
'Whoever is touched and whoever touches cannot but be surprised.'
'Genius arises with touch.'
'Touching is always reciprocal. You cannot touch me unless I touch you in response.'
'The opposite of touching is moving.'
'We can be moved only by way of our veils. We are touched through our veils.'
