Growth

In reversi, players improve vastly when they start to question every move they make. the intent, the consequences. And in this process there is a continual uncovering and questioning of every assumption about the game that they have held on to. False assumptions are gotten rid of which results in the segregation of habit from principle.

And I think in some sense it is the same for the game of life. But life is a vastly more complicated game than reversi. It is hard enough to know the objective of the game, not to mention internalize it. And with such a long span of time allowed, it is easy to lose focus. And of course the rules will never be fully known. And even, when you are familiarized enough with the rules and objective (which differs for each individual), it will take many lifetimes to fully master it.

But then again, it is because of this complexity that is absolutely crucial to question.
