You Lost the Game

The way you play the game is by not knowing about it. Once you know about it, you've lost. Some people assert that you can rejoin the game by not thinking about it. But let's face it: there are tribal people in Borneo who will never lose the game. So even if you admit the possibility of starting the game over, you'll never catch up to them. In effect, the game is over for you. They haven't won, but you certainly have lost. I lost the game several years ago when I stumbled across the Wikipedia article about it. And since I'm a poor loser, I help others to lose the game, too. That's where you come in, dear reader. If you haven't already, you just lost the game.

You're welcome.
