To win peace, more love in the world, financial stability, global equity, empathy, respect, social, personal, or politic growth, to win at everything that you perceive we are losing as humanity.
A game has players and rules. You can win and lose in some way, what do you propose TO WIN our game? How can we WIN? Or maybe in order to win, would we have to lose something?
