Or rather, they like winning for ten seconds, but if they keep on winning, they end up actually having to think about other things, like life and death.

Keeping things stable takes energy. I guess it's a little counter-intuitive, since you think of Newton's first law: a body at rest will stay at rest. But the reality is different.

That was theater. ~ Seth Grahame-Smith
