Day four hundred
ninety-two
March 10, 2014: Today I have
done something which I have never done before. I have played Monopoly. I know
it is a game usually saved for those rainy days were there is literally nothing
else to do, but me sibs and I wanted to play a game so there we go. I knew the
general idea of Monopoly, so I figured it would not be too much time spent
reading the instructions. Ha, ha, ha, ha. I dared to enter the long and trying
game that truly tests commitments and leaves one morally conflicted. I left
that game with a better idea of myself. I saw myself at my worst in that game.
A love and drive of money, a passionate hate for all who had more than me,
bitterness when someone else’s spot was landed on, but a sense of entitlement
when it was money owed me. Monopoly is truly a game which strips away our false
pretentions at being decent human beings and leaves us bare and exposed as the
contemptible people we are.
