ANST - Why am I playng this game?

[Trish McCurdy]

""On the other hand, we have somebody who was crying because the queen
didn't wave to her?  That's what disturbs me.  Maybe there's more
involved between the two people than stated.  Maybe queen has nothing
to do with it.  But I'm seeing it as this person crying because "the
queen" didn't wave to her.

Why is it that a possible slight from pretend royalty should upset
someone enough to run off and cry?

It's just a game and people who cry about something so simple disturbs
me.  One of the reasons I'm playing this game is I thought it was
rational people who knew it was all a game.  (As opposed to some of
the people I saw make the game world their reality, when I was in
high-school).

Obviously, being the Queen that it happened to, as I wrote, it was a strange 
thing indeed.  It happened in the year 1986 so we don't have to worry about 
it too much, and amusingly enough, some years later the Lady who cried 
because I did not wave to her was Queen in the same Kingdom, having grown 
and learned alot over the years.  She was a good Queen I am happy to add.

I was using the story to make a point.  And that point was "things are often 
different than they appear" and then I went back to my original point which 
was "go tell those people how you felt"

I am sorry if the illustration distracted anyone from the point I was 
making.  Every person has different things which they react to.  The person 
in my story was a newcomer who felt alot of affection for me because I was 
kind to her, and became upset and confused when she did not see me respond 
as she expected.

We as individuals have to be willing to accept the repsonsibility to step 
into a situation and do what we think is right.  And because it is an 
individual decision, it becomes something very personal to each of us.
