These words strike fear in the most competitive, hard
driven, of the herd. Whether winning or
the undying determination to, win, the notion of not—winning—is not an
option.
A man of many years came to the realization late in life
that losing, loss and lost, while
undesired, is unavoidable, inescapable. How else do we learn but through loss, the
losing of something special, irrecoverable yet forever there?
Defeat is death is some degree; an experience to assess
what happened if not why (it happened)—except that any journey is marked by
challenges, conquerable or not, with the outcome or end, uncertain, unclear.
As to the worry and wonder of why…, the reason, that too is uncertain,
unclear. That “man of many years”,
Malcolm Muggeridge, said:
Every happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message.”Malcolm Muggeridge
What is "the message"?
