If you play a multiplayer game, and lose, who is the author of your defeat? (sh.itjust.works)

Is it the other players, because they beat you?

Is it you, because you chose to play the game?

Is it the game manufacturer?

I was thinking of this as a model of karma.

Simply put, you reap what you sow.

More complexly put, you choose your reality and a reality has various angles. So if you choose a reality (a videogame for example) where people fight, sometimes you will win and other times you will lose.

The reality of biology implies eating and being eaten. The reality of capitalism implies wealth and poverty. The reality of justice implies punishing and being punished. Etc

Or something like that.
