“Being the best simply cannot be a Just Cause, because even if we are the best (based on the metrics and time frames of our own choosing), the position is only temporary.

Health, fitness, relationships, business... These are ALL infinite games! Play them with finite rules and you're going to have problems.
Common finite solutions in each of these areas may be...

- Only caring about yourself in relationships and refusing to compromise with the ones you care about.
- Just trying to "beat" the other businesses around you
