Game Theory

Jurong said: "It takes more courage to do something badly than to do it well.  In America, I would never have dared to do anything badly.  Never on purpose, at least.  But now I wish to fail all I can.  Failing is the sculptor's chisel."

Turong said: "Now you're talking.  But actually, you are hardly alone.  The excitement of failure is incomparable and compulsive.  This at least partially explains the proliferation of contests, competitions, man-made challenges, oh games!"

Jurong said: "Ho-hum.  But games are games.  Perhaps you have never experienced a real failure?"

Turong said: "The real failure is when one fails to recognize the levity in all failures - and realize that failures are never final, and that games are, in theory, never-ending."
