When not winning is the true winning ...


Is Winning really so important ? After winning what's next ? Keep winning ? What next ? .... .....

Winning makes one feel good , but if ego kicks in , it will be very destructive ... ... Who are we really winning ? Who are we really losing to ?

What and why are we fighting for ? Do we really need to fight in order to own something ? Do we really own it when we hurt someone else ? Can one own a thing positively if they do negative things to others ? ..... ...


Case for thought : A fighter moved around fighting others for medals and titles ... he struck so hard that cracked the faces of all his opponents ... .... people named him " The Undefeated Iron fist " .... ... 5 years later , he went to challenge a man , he threw punches after punches , kicks after kicks ..... and they were all missed ... ..... not a single one got close to the man , he tried and tried , aiming so hard with all his strength wanting to defend his titles .... ...... he threw the attack non-stop .... and suddenly , he felt a tap on his head , the man said : '' Ok , you win , I got to go and do my job ..... '' { The man chop trees and make them into wood and sell to the villages }

The fight stopped , the fighter won again ...... a week later , as he was walking along the road beside the forest , he heard someone was chopping the trees , he went closer to take a look and was shocked that the man he fought a week ago was chopping trees and breaking them into pieces using his palm { His family was so poor that they don't have money to buy an axe , since young that man was trained to break trees with his palm .... }


Who really win ? Who really lose ? What is the true purpose and meaning of winning ? .... ...... Is it to please and to tell the whole world that you are able ??? If one day you never do well , then what ? ? Will it make you a loser ?


There is a greater purpose in life beside winning ? And true winning doesn't mean that we got to be ahead of someone ..... or we got to own something .....
