Winning and losing
by Paul McGowan
It occurs to me that life is sometimes viewed as a sports event with winners and losers.
I wonder how many arguments might be avoided, or anger averted if we were to instead think of it in terms of multiple wins.
None of us likes to feel as if we've lost or on the losing side.
What would happen if we chose to remove the idea of losing from our worldview?
Perhaps when I had my opinion changed by some new information or from the generosity of someone who successfully countered my argument I might feel better if I didn't think of it in terms of losing the argument.
It's an interesting mind shift. A possibility worth exploring.
Now, where was all that missing detail I lost in that recording? :)
