Are you still in the game?

 

It’s entertaining to see our neighbours playing games.

We may just laugh at them because the outcomes never affect us.

If you are also “playing game’ in your own yard, then it’s a different context altogether. If you are still playing ‘games’, you must calculate your moves carefully because any wrong move means doom. If your boss is playing games, then you must know what are the “forces in play” and where and when to move. If your subordinates are playing games, you have to be alert all the time. Otherwise, you may be ‘stabbed’ or moved unless of course, you’re the big boss in your yard.
