This is a game of one-up-manship. It is illustrated by the following example: Husband: I have a problem. It's getting late and I need to get these leaves raked up before it rains tonight. Wife: Could the kids help? Husband: Yes, but they goof off more than they work. Wife: Well, could I help? Husband: Yes, but then dinner will be late and you know how I have to eat late. In this interaction, the husband gains competitive satisfaction at his wife's expense by discrediting every suggestion he makes.
WOODEN LEG -
This game elicits sympathy and is used as an excuse for failing to become responsible or independent. In effect, the game player asks, "What do you expect of a wooden leg?" The "wooden leg" may be a personality deficiency, a physical handicap, or an unstable past. For example, the parent asks, "How do you expect me to be patient with kids? I have a short temper." Or the person who drinks too much asks, "What do you expect from someone whose parents were heavy drinkers?"
IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU -
blaming people..if it weren't due to them..you won't be forced to do things...it aims on hitting one's conscience...kind.a "utang na loob" to the manipulator.

I have come to seek a bit of perfection to sustain my earthly needs...and to somehow prove pipol that i don't suck at all!!!.(haha,jok).
it's a way of proving and gaining your worth and dignity...a way of gaining respect...not to destroy someone...and not to overcome someone...
in life..there'll always be better pipol...in every way..in every field... but these pipol aren't fully perfect....wat they lack might be your field of expertise....your strenght..your ability....
for ex.: a beauty w/o brains...and a brainy lass w/o the beauty,,,
****my ego kips saying: Go Janina!. (haha,jok!)..but yea..******
..for we are born with equal rights...but with different skills...which will make us unite in the end..not divided...
excel in ur own fields..and not try to win everything...cause perfection will never be upon you my dear....but upon Him...
