Winning is only possible because of God. And only God can judge.
People define winning differently. Some believe it is money and material gains, some believe it is gaining power or control, and some people believe that simply waking up and being able to breathe clean air and do as they choose is a win. Winning in life is very much subjective to people’s personal goals. Judgements of other people’s lives are usually based on what wealth you have versus the wealth of the person you are judging. Sometimes, jealousy is the lens you judge people through (because of personal shortcomings) It’s called “keeping up with the Jones's “ and if you participate, you cycle through periods of jealousy and braggadocio with other people which will only end when you are retired and immobile.
Is spending 40+ hours at work ACTUALLY winning? Are you actually taking care of your family, or are you lying to yourself and are in debt because you are trying to project to the world a certain lifestyle? You spend forty hours at work and claim you raise your kids, but how can you raise your kids if you are not with them 120 hours or more in a month? Are you sure the internet and public school officials and social dynamics within these systems aren’t raising your children? And if you can’t admit that, are you winning? Are you winning?
Is a person actually winning if they have to take orders? Is a person actually winning because they believe they have control over other people? Are you winning if you call people “sheep”, and yet follow the crowd and do what’s popular? Is that winning? Are you winning because you own guns, or are you just a schizophrenic pussy-boy?
Is a person winning because they believe they have financial freedom even though they are spiritually broken? Nobody has true financial freedom unless you dabble in corruption, so to believe you have financial freedom might actually be a loss. Again, you’re tied to obligations and take orders like a bitch. To be spiritually broken is worse still, to worship false idols, celebrities, athletes, and neighbors with either love or hate. Both emotions a form of worship, like those in ancient Greece who would cycle through praising and resenting Eros, the god of Love. First they Love, then they hate, then they love again.
Is that winning? Is living with hate and resentment winning? Is basing your life on vengeance like the man with the mask from that corny princess movie in 1987, is that winning to you? Is spending your time trying to get a rise out of people considered winning to you? Do you think dedicating any amount of time, money, or thought on people you “hate” is winning? Do you think trying to occupy the same space as a person who doesn’t know you or care about you is a win? Do you think taking pictures or videos of people without their permission and posting it behind their back with jokes and comments is winning?
Winning is only possible God, and if I had to call it: Winning is breathing, seeing, feeling, learning and thinking Winning is being able to do as you please. Winning is being able to do what you please in the face of people who don’t like you. Winning is the courage to do as you please, even when people believe they are disrupting your “peace”. Winning is when people think they control you, but you still do as you please. Winning is being able to stand alone with God against a motley-crew army of tweekers, far-right retards, butt-ugly females, miserable bar-fly’s and the passive aggressive children they are trying to impress. Winning is continuously showing up, winning is smiling, winning is finding joy in damn near everything, winning is letting anger out before it builds up, winning is sleeping, winning is being in shape, winning is learning new things and doing things you love, winning is experiencing new things, winning is being kind to others despite pain, winning is helping people when you can without any expectation of reward.
