So what does it really mean to win? Is winning what makes us happy? or what makes us successful? I think that there is a difference, but I don't really know what it is. People everyday talk about their goals of being successful, and ultimately winning at life. But the flaw is that life is not a game. There is no god looking down on us and playing chess with our already fragile lives. So when we "win" at life what do we expect to come of it? Especially considering we don't even know what we want. Scenario. I apply for the same job as a friend but I get the job over her. Do I win because I got the job? or do I lose because my friend is unhappy? I know that we should look out for ourselves, because ultimately people leave and life moves on, but should we still be so heartless to think that one persons failure is our "win"? But now that I think about it, what is losing? It seems like we can never win completely.
