Game on

The moment you become aware of anything, then it is game on.

Before that, it is a completely unbalanced match. Like a heavy weight fighting a blind guy in the street (unless it is blind fury, of course).

Being aware gives you back some of the leverage. Then there is the responsibility to understand the rules of the game and master it.

If we don’t have the drive to master the game, even after we are aware we are in it, then we are conceding defeat.
