I just heard about Uruguay expresident stating that he had thought of a war or armed conflict with Argentina over one bin industry.
And somehow, I made a connection between that piece of info and the kissing game.
You know, nowadays everyone is struggling over power and states tend to be limitless in order to pursue more power.
War or conflict declarations seem to be the daily card played by everyone.
Nevertheless, I just follow Lennon's advice: to be a dreamer. I hope, not the only one.
During NL time, we were about 40 people living in the same house, under the same roof. So, we imported some creative ideas from each of us.
I am sorry to the author but I cannot give credit to that person because I simply do not know who is it.
Anyway, that is pointless.
The game consisted in killing everybody with a kiss. The kiss must be in any part of the face, including neck and ears.
You write each of the player's names in pieces and unfold them. Then, you let everyone take one paper without knowing which name is written in it. That person will be your victim, the one you will have to kill.
Once dead, that person (without letting anyone see) writes down in a blackboard o blank paper, one stick or dot meaning there has been one person that was killed.
The -now- dead has to tell the killer the name of his/her victim and the killer continues the game by making that person the new victim.
Here are some ABC rules:
1. Not talking about the game, at all.
2. You cannot kill someone if there is a player watching you, you cannot get killed with anyone realizing it. The kiss must be hidden. You and the victim or you and the killer.
The winner is the last person who is left alive.
So, I was wondering what if that kiss would be the gun and a hug would represent the declaration of war.
Personally, I think the game outlines a moral: you can kill by a kiss, is a strong approach and you can be nice even in competition.
What if we extrapolate this moral? If everyone who would like to say an insult or shout a curse, blow the horn or whatever should have to give a kiss/hug before?. Could not be that this make us think for at least two seconds before acting?
I have the strong feeling that plenty of wars or discussions or arguments, just for the sake of saying a number, 90% of them, are started by misunderstandings or mistakes, misinterpretation and so forth and so on.
In this context, is that I trully believe that a hug, a kiss, would oblige us to think, to let little things go.
On the other hand, it would make us feel vulnerable, less power-hungry.
In deep, the game shows a human side.
I think nobody would mind losing in this game. It is playing what matters the most.
