Quote: The real question is how long should you keep playing? I sometimes wonder if the only reason why I'm still around is the thrill of the game.
John Madden has a saying (paraphrasing here) In football anything can happen. That's why we play the game. If we believe we already know the outcome, there would be no need to play the game.
Even in your "chess" game (always interested in playing if there is any one out there...), you still see three possible outcomes. If you forfeit now you know you have lost. Eventho the odds may be against you, but you can still continue to play for the best possible outcome. So to answer your question, you should continue for as long as it takes for all the moves to be played out. Only then will the true outcome be actually revealed and is ... GAME OVER.
Quote: My wife has been married to five different people--and every one has been me. The point is, we all change throughout life and what makes marriage special is not only the commitment, but the recognition of partners of the inevitable changes we all go through. Combine THAT with commitment, and you have a truer sense of marital love.
Wow! ... that is enlightening ... now to get my W to buy into that!
