Losing and the Losers

Losing, it is really hard. It’s more than just not getting the price that you might have been aiming for, but its living your life everyday knowing somebody else is enjoying that price. Losing is part of a balance, yin yang, losing and winning, taking and giving, loving and hating. It is what life is made of. We lose every day, consciously and unconsciously. People have different ways of getting over the fact that they lost. Some move on after congratulating the winner, others smirk, never accepted the defeat and continuously convinced their selves that they were cheated, others sour grape and find ways to get back to the winner. These sour-grapes never see reason and chose to act without thinking about fairness. They wanted to get back and usually they don’t get back to the right person. Well, we are all part of a huge web we call humanity. Without these people, we will never see compassion and we will never be able to appreciate simple things like encouragement and hugs. Losing is inevitable, as inevitable as the sun rising and setting. We have to deal with it with grace, rage if you want, just don’t let it consume you for years nor months nor weeks. It will destroy the chance of better opportunities and peace of mind and happiness.
