Not the puzzles, not any test; Nor quizes & neither any sudokus. Am not referring to those mind games that are played literally to improve human IQ but those, which are played in our day-to-day life for personal reasons & accomplishments.
Human by nature get carried away with emotions, thinking & assuming events- occurrences to happen on basis of individual perception. Little do we know, that in any scenario or in a given circumstance, we can predict only about ourselves as we become the constant factor. The next person & the situation - favorable/adverse, both are variables hence tend to vary; which is just the outcome of the least expected. So, by the time one realise what situation he/she is in & try to analyse with logic, thus finds out that he/she just got played into a mindgame.
Almost every human knows this game, probably right from childhood - for those who are smart & influential enough to make an effect on the minds of others, such people become aware of the capability of mindgames & knows the tricks by an early age. Mind games can be played with fellow mates, elders, peers, so long the next person trusts & believes blindly. Well, may be thats the reason why, the most common quote, "love is blind" is accepted widely! We love our close ones; call it friends or family so we trust them easily without a smallest doubt/question about their nature, perception or actions towards our ownselves. Only, when the mind games turn foul & ugly, does it cost the value & worth of a relationship.
And what about others apart from friends & family, people whom we meet everyday- classmates, neighbours, peers, colleagues, the boss? The probability of being played is more when someone knows us better than what we know of him/her. I bet, everyone gets played to an extent atleast before they understand the tricks. Common examples & controversial topics ever had been like "we can still be friends even if things didn't work between us as lovers", to this i would say, How can you possibly stand being close to the person you loved so deeply & madly that even breathing becomes difficult? and yet you can be a good friend just b'cause you have known this person long enough & there would absolutely be no emotions except that of pure friendship? One can either stop consoling him/herself that though the relationship didn't work out for what-so-ever reason so they can atleast be in touch or accept that one still hasn't got over him/her.
Mind games are not merely played on each other but can be played on ownselves as well. The fact is quite true that "Man should control his mind or it controls him" Not only others who can play mind games on you; Your own mind can play the same on you at times. It's not completely in our control to stop the mind from working but yes, one can always try not to let it wander. Given a chance, mind can imagine, create, frame & even led things happen which might not be at someone's best interest.
Well, have i played mind games on people? or was i being played? I would say 'yes' to the latter. To the former, i wouldn't agree completely but to certainextent my actions either caused curiosities or led others view things in different angles & thereby had taken respective course of action. The outcome needn't be a cause to any personal accomplishments of mine. After all, today or tomorrow, sooner or later "You'ld get what you deserve"!
