A Casino Paradigm.
July 12, 2010
Relationships are like a game of craps.
It is hard to know how the dice are going to roll.
Winners sometimes lose and losers sometimes roll the hard twelve with a solid bet.
Sometimes you just can chalk your losses up to the price of a good time while it lasted, but other times you walk away wondering whether the objective was to earn actual cash or just grow that shiny stack of red tokens. If the lights and jingles have somehow numbed your discernment until we are all cheering and strategizing towards a disappointingly counterfeit payout.
But every day you are faced with the choice to either roll the dice for another round or to just cash out and walk away.
