"All's fair in love and war" is a phrase used to justify unfair behaviour in extreme [?] situations, i.e. love and war.
I was thinking about this phrase while totally not getting on with a game 'Space Craft.' I am, apparently, a really sore loser when it comes to games that involve strategy. Or.. games that involve strategy of which I'm poor at calculating..
I felt like it was unfair to bombard my weak side to take advantage of me. Isn't that what's supposed to happen? They look for a weak spot, exploit it; you look for a weak spot, exploit it..
I don't like that dynamic, though. Maybe that's the 'old' way of thinking? 'Fight fair' Let's us both use fists instead of weapons of steel or other?
Maybe I'm just a sore loser at war games.
