Only time I've cried in the last year or so was over my brother's cancer--I certainly never have and won't do it over a game even when I was a kid.
It's not the game. It's the lesson learned from the game that hurts.
I learned that lesson from my father waay before I was old enough to play any games. I knew before I even started school I wouldn't always get my way no matter how hard I tried at any given task, and learned you learn more from failure than success. No sense crying over spilt milk, "so dry it up boy!" Carried that and other lessons into adulthood.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
