In life, we are increasingly required to be mentally resilient. Under conditions of growing competition and stress, it is vital that we are able to maintain focus and concentration on the things that truly matter to us, while at the same time learning to ignore those that are insignificant. Otherwise, minor frustrations, insults, and problems will gradually erode our inner peace and balance, ultimately affecting our lives and sometimes even our health. Unfortunately, today various psychological tactics, veiled suggestions and insults, covert influences, and manipulations of the psyche are being used more and more widely in order to impose certain interests.

These psychological influences, although often constituting crimes under the law, are most frequently impossible to prove before institutions. This is precisely why they are becoming increasingly popular. Regrettably, it seems that many people are willing to do something immoral for their own benefit, provided they are confident they will get away with it.

At present, there is no definitive recipe for coping with such influences. The only option left to us is to develop our psychological resilience and rely on our spirit, willpower, character, personal philosophy, and value system.

The game presented below is an attempt at a “training tool” in the discipline of psychological resilience, where you can test whether negative psychological influences—in this case, insults—affect your concentration, reflexes, and quick judgment, all of which the game requires. You can compare your results across three modes: Irritating, Motivating, and Neutral. During gameplay in the first mode, you are subjected to crude insults (depending on your gender); in the second mode, the messages addressed to you are positive; and in the third mode, there are no influences of any kind. Whether and how this affects your results—find out for yourself:
