“We’ve been calling them rules. But once you call them rules, you believe that there are rules. And so you look for the rule. But the minute you look for a rule, you’re playing the game as a game that has rules. That’s when you discover that, if it’s a game, then they’re the ones who have chosen the game. They control how the game is played. And the way they’ve set up the game, the rule of the game is that there is no rule. The game is that there is no game. The minute you call it a game you’ve lost the game.”
3 f, 1 m; or 2 f trans, 1 m.
ABOUT THE PLAY::
One of them thinks they are all there for couples’ counseling; another believes that they have been sent by their churches; the third’s reason is more mysterious, and possibly dangerous. All they–and we–know is that they are asked to sit and play children’s games, as they wonder whether they are each there to be deprogrammed or to be reprogrammed.
