OUTSMART ME?

Yesterday in class there seemed to be somewhat of a "war of words" on team B's strategy to win The Most Dangerous Game. Many people felt it was unfair that team B changed the password and sabotaged the other team in order to win. They felt that this was taking it too far, and was unfair to the rest of the class. However, although I was not on Team B, I in particular don't think that what they did wrong in anyway. All they were sim[ly doing was taking any means necessary in order to win the game, and isn't that what life is all about. In the game of life, each of us does whatever we must do in order to succeed, and although some of us are more honest than others, there is no denying the fact that we at least once have done something in order to get ahead and win. It's a part of our human nature, and at times, acts such as these are simply what it takes to get ahead.

Also, Team B's tactic proved to be a bump in the road for Team A. In life, we will always find something that blocks us on our road, and part of life is finding a solution to that problem, a way to outsmart our competitor's. In life, there is no fair and unfair, there are no rules, we are simply thrown into a big pool of water and must find a way to survive. No matter what endeavour we set out on, there will always be an obstacle blocking our path, and it is up to us to create a solution to this problem. We must find a better, smarter, way around it in order to beat the man and our competitor's. Team B's tactic was a smart choice that proved how real life works and how in reality we must always find a way to outsmart those that stand in our way.
