   >No, we’re talking about struggle.
   >Here’s a game. It’s called Plucky Little England, and it simulates the situation faced by the United Kingdom after the fall of France in World War II. Your goal: preserve liberty and democracy and defeat the forces of darkness and oppression. You have a choice:
   >A. Surrender.
   >B. Spit in Hitler’s eye! Rule Britannia! England never ever ever shall be slaves!
   >Which did you choose? You chose B? Wow, good choice.
   >Congratulations. You won! Wasn’t that satisfying? Ah, the thrill of victory.
   >There is no thrill of victory, of course; it was all too easy, wasn’t it? There wasn’t any struggle.
