Sometimes It feels like we just cant win.
It seems like every year, we put more & more in, but get less and less back out.
Maybe the world is against us.
Maybe the game is rigged.
But we can choose how we lose.
And we can choose how we play, too.
The opponents may be cheating, The umpire may be biased, but we can still play fair.
As people become pinched at both ends
We often see the worst qualities of humanity come out.
People start putting themselves first.
They start taking more, and giving less, hoarding what they have.
They pull down others to push themselves up, then brag about their success on social media.
But even when margins are tight, We can find enough to survive & still live a good life.
Don’t join zero sum thinking or “dog eat dog” mentality.
We can still treat others with kindness, and be helpful.
The worse things get, the more important it becomes to do good & provide value where we can.
Being good ‘despite of’ is it’s own form of winning.
