I do not accept the zero-sum approach to living life. We live in an open system where we add value to the aggregate by our shared connections. If you add us all up, the game theory approach implies that our collective sum is zero. Considering the great things constructed by human hands, zero-sum is not only wrong, it is insulting.
Created by our Creator, in His image, we are meant to create. We are meant to add value to our families, our communities, and our world by contributing our individual skills, abilities and efforts. The Bible says not to hide your light. No value is added when you fail to contribute yours to the shared effort.
Basing your interactions with others on the zero-sum paradigm cheapens yourself and cuts short your human destiny.
