    Those who “the rules” of the game qualify as having won.
    All else is braggadocio This post was edited by Don Barzini at January 31, 2020 9:37 PM MST

  • I don’t know anymore, probably those who don’t.

    Almost always, those who play by the rules.

    The ones who cheat usually get caught and in some way burned or punished.

    If they don't get caught, they have to live with the knowledge of their actions and keep aspects of their lives secret -
    which has a price in less intimacy and closeness with others.

    Those who play by the rules win at a different game called, Keep Your Integrity.

  • Those who play by the rules. 

    Rules are put into place for everyone's benefit.   You can use your brains and creativity to win by doing it "legally"!  That's a true WIN!  
    Anyone can cheat .. that doesn't take any effort.  Smart will win out over lazy and arrogant any day.

    Whether one follows the rules or doesn't, one wins every time if one listens to this entire album from start to finish:
