It's been an interesting day today. I left work with the thought, "Why do adults find it necessary to play games?" I have an acquaintance that seems to go out of her way to cause difficulty for other people. She's somewhat passive-aggressive so she never confronts people when she plays these games, she always goes behind their backs. I've watched her do this to people for several years. She's absolutely masterful. She slowly undermines until she gets her task completed. If someone calls her out on her games, she turns it into a situation where she acts as if the other person is being paranoid. Well, I fell victim to her agenda today.
It makes me wonder what makes a person feel that they need to act like this? Is it a control issue? Is it a self-esteem issue -- maybe these people feel that they need to knock other people down to feel better about themselves....OR are people that play these games just mean? Do they take pleasure in making life hard for others?
I guess the bottom line in my opinion is..........life is too short to play games. While it may be naive of me to ponder the thought........why can't we all just get along?
