About Winning
We can win only at activities having specific exit criteria. For example, we win a soccer match when we score more goals in a given time. Similarly, we win a marathon when we run a given distance in the least time.?
But when there are no exit criteria, there is no concept of winning or losing. Instead, we are together on a journey. All our relative positions are temporary and can change at any time.
Our happiness heavily depends on how we approach our journey. Sometimes, establishing fictional exit criteria in our minds is the primary reason we feel defeated.
