Gaining Through Losing

In an emo moment under one of those emo weather,

I have a thought.

I have been busy all these while that i have not have a thought in a while.

Everyone has been busy.

So that one not-so-fine day, i thought...



In the Bible, I was taught that 'The first shall be the last. The last shall be the first. The meek shall inherit the earth'. It may sound confusing as The Olympics just reminded us that the first is the first, the rest is like, not important. So what is the deal?? The Bible only have many thousands of parables... So do we gain through losing at all??



So, in life, it is about coping... I was so busy that i don't have time to sit down and think, at least not as much as in those dramaful teenage years (so much drama). I have to give up me-time to be at Reality '9 to 5'. I gain and i lose. However, nobody wants to be a loser. The Bible is surely not telling us to be a loser. Humans are made to win. Everyone should strive to be the first, that is the foundation of humanity. Winning is good, first is good.... in the perfect world, everyone wins.



In the fucking perfect world, everyone is first. The perfect world does not exist, not after you are 6 years old. I relised the principle of 'Gaining through Losing'. It can be as straight foreward as gaining by losing weight.... to the complicated drama-mamas. The truth is, it is in our everyday life. We gain something, we have to lose something. If we are doing this, we have to give up on the possibility of doing that. If we watch a channel, we will have to give up on watching another (unless you can watch two at one time and know what is going on and you are a Martian). What is important is to make sure that what you gain is more important than what you lose. Losing is inevitable, but make sure you gain more.



So much to think about now... (so much drama coming back now).

So who cares if you lose something... gain something else back! C'est la vie.
