Back
in
college
,
I
had
a
bit
of
a
delusional
fantasy
of
becoming
a
professional
poker
player
.
I
won
money
and
everything
,
and
it
was
fun
,
but
after
almost
a
year
of
serious
play
,
I
quit
.
The
lifestyle
of
staying
up
all
night
staring
at
a
computer
screen
,
winning
thousands
of
dollars
one
day
and
then
losing
most
of
it
the
next
,
wasn
’
t
for
me
,
and
it
wasn
’
t
exactly
the
most
healthy
or
emotionally
stable
means
of
earning
a
living
.
But
my
time
playing
poker
had
a
surprisingly
profound
influence
on
the
way
I
see
life
.
The
beauty
of
poker
is
that
while
luck
is
always
involved
,
luck
doesn
’
t
dictate
the
long
-
term
results
of
the
game
.
A
person
can
get
dealt
terrible
cards
and
beat
someone
who
was
dealt
great
cards
.
Sure
,
the
person
who
gets
dealt
great
cards
has
a
higher
likelihood
of
winning
the
hand
,
but
ultimately
the
winner
is
determined
by
—
yup
,
you
guessed
it
—
the
choices
each
player
makes
throughout
play
.
I
see
life
in
the
same
terms
.
We
all
get
dealt
cards
.
Some
of
us
get
better
cards
than
others
.
And
while
it
’
s
easy
to
get
hung
up
on
our
cards
,
and
feel
we
got
screwed
over
,
the
real
game
lies
in
the
choices
we
make
with
those
cards
,
the
risks
we
decide
to
take
,
and
the
consequences
we
choose
to
live
with
.
People
who
consistently
make
the
best
choices
in
the
situations
they
’
re
given
are
the
ones
who
eventually
come
out
ahead
in
poker
,
just
as
in
life
.
And
it
’
s
not
necessarily
the
people
with
the
best
cards
.
There
are
those
who
suffer
psychologically
and
emotionally
from
neurological
and
/
or
genetic
deficiencies
.
But
this
changes
nothing
.
Sure
,
they
inherited
a
bad
hand
and
are
not
to
blame
.
No
more
than
the
short
guy
wanting
to
get
a
date
is
to
blame
for
being
short
.
Or
the
person
who
got
robbed
is
to
blame
for
being
robbed
.
But
it
’
s
still
their
responsibility
.
Whether
they
choose
to
seek
psychiatric
treatment
,
undergo
therapy
,
or
do
nothing
,
the
choice
is
ultimately
theirs
to
make
.
There
are
those
who
suffer
through
bad
childhoods
.
There
are
those
who
are
abused
and
violated
and
screwed
over
,
physically
,
emotionally
,
financially
.
They
are
not
to
blame
for
their
problems
and
their
hindrances
,
but
they
are
still
responsible
—
always
responsible
—
to
move
on
despite
their
problems
and
to
make
the
best
choices
they
can
,
given
their
circumstances
.
And
let
’
s
be
honest
here
.
If
you
were
to
add
up
all
of
the
people
who
have
some
psychiatric
disorder
,
struggle
with
depression
or
suicidal
thoughts
,
have
been
subjected
to
neglect
or
abuse
,
have
dealt
with
tragedy
or
the
death
of
a
loved
one
,
and
have
survived
serious
health
issues
,
accidents
,
or
trauma
—
if
you
were
to
round
up
all
of
those
people
and
put
them
in
the
room
,
well
,
you
’
d
probably
have
to
round
up
everyone
,
because
nobody
makes
it
through
life
without
collecting
a
few
scars
on
the
way
out
.
Sure
,
some
people
get
saddled
with
worse
problems
than
others
.
And
some
people
are
legitimately
victimized
in
horrible
ways
.
But
as
much
as
this
may
upset
us
or
disturb
us
,
it
ultimately
changes
nothing
about
the
responsibility
equation
of
our
individual
situation
.
Victimhood
Chic
The
responsibility
/
fault
fallacy
allows
people
to
pass
off
the
responsibility
for
solving
their
problems
to
others
.
This
ability
to
alleviate
responsibility
through
blame
gives
people
a
temporary
high
and
a
feeling
of
moral
righteousness
.
Unfortunately
,
one
side
effect
of
the
Internet
and
social
media
is
that
it
’
s
become
easier
than
ever
to
push
responsibility
—
for
even
the
tiniest
of
infractions
—
onto
some
other
group
or
person
.
In
fact
,
this
kind
of
public
blame
/
shame
game
has
become
popular
;
in
certain
crowds
it
’
s
even
seen
as
“
cool
.
”
The
public
sharing
of
“
injustices
”
garners
far
more
attention
and
emotional
outpouring
than
most
other
events
on
social
media
,
rewarding
people
who
are
able
to
perpetually
feel
victimized
with
ever
-
growing
amounts
of
attention
and
sympathy
.
