Isn't life all about winning?

[Lc jones]

Nope, it’s how you live/lived your life and the positive impact your life has had on others and the world.

I agree with the statement 100%.

 

[Ruthanne]

I don't.

 

[hypochondriac]

I don't.

Just wondering if you can elaborate. Your view might be interesting .

 

[Kit Kat]

I don't.

Do you not at least attempt to leave a positive impact on those you encounter?

There is no winning, no losing, no cosmic competition. Stay happy, for your brief gig on this planet, and you're doing fine, better than many, if that matters to you. That's it.

 

[Lc jones]

Never said I impacted anybody just that I aspire to it....

 

[Lc jones]

Oh no. Ive been almost impactless.

I don’t believe that you’ve already impacted me with your thought provoking questions.

Life is to each one a different thing and not always something to benefit another. That's all I care to say at this moment.

Why do you ask me that?

 

[Lc jones]

When I’m on my deathbed I’m not going to be thinking hey look at all the stuff I accumulated I won the game, that much I’m sure of.

 

[hypochondriac]

can you put me in your will?

thats an interesting pov. id say you have impacted people and animals without noticing it anyway. i think there is a certain hapiness in just learning to be content no matter what.

 

[Lc jones]

can you put me in your will?

Haha, what will?

Winning implies competition. There is a winner and there are losers.
Disregarding the Darwinian approach I prefer to think of life as a journey, sometimes easy and sometimes hard. That is why we need companions for the journey. Companions help each other, they don't aim to defeat each other.

Yes and yes. Life is not a competition. No need to "win." Just be happy if you can.

 

[Kit Kat]

Why do you ask me that?

I think you answered it in your other response.

Winning:
When you are following your own moral and ethical code.
When you are proud of something you have accomplished.
When you help others "win" (succeed).
When you understand how much is enough and don't need/want more.
