Two ways of playing
Krishna is perplexed by the attitude of his friend who plays loosely as he plays sport for fun. He writes:
When I play, I am eagerly trying to win. However, winning is not an end in itself. Winning is not even the primary goal. Primary goal is to play as well as I can. I can not have fun if I know that I am not playing as well as I can.
But what is fun? Two schools of thought:
- Giving it your best shot and trying to win. You relish the thrill you gets in the process.
- Playing just for the sake of it.
I play my sport the way Krishna plays his. However, I have also encountered people who play like Krishna’s friend.
How do you play your sport?
