Did you ever read a book called "Finite and Infinite Games"? The essential point is we can either play by the rules (Finite games) or play with the rules (Infinite games). The author also talks about finite or inifite sexuality; one can either be sexually engaged in order to have a partner and get the status of having that partner—or—one can be sexually engaged in order to grow. Every touch becomes a chance to become a different, greater person.
With RPGs, we can either play in order to have a great character of X level with a boatload of magic items, or we can play in order to change ourselves. Every challenge in the game becomes a chance to grow.
