“You drop that load too when you find yourself an excuse. Then, afterward, all you got to do is learn to feel sorry for yourself—and lots of people learn to get their kicks that way. It’s one of the best indoor sports, feeling sorry.” Bert’s face broke into an active grin. “A sport enjoyed by all. Especially the born losers.”
-Walter Tevis, The Hustler (Eddie Felson, #1)
The Goal of the game is to win the game.
However, there is also a game to the goal, which is to continue playing the game.
There is always a strategy but tactics are not useful in the long run.
Hustling might be good for some people but when you have a fair play opportunity for everyone that’s what makes it more interesting and trusted.
Even if someone loses, it’s an inspiration to make things better.
