Wonderful article. What is losing, anyway? Like you say, in most cases, maybe excluding death (and maybe not even that), gain or win is at least as true as loss. For material loss, you're going to have to let it go someday. It's not really yours to have in the first place -- you're just borrowing it temporarily. When will you be ready to let it go?
Whenever I catastrophize about losing, my friend Vicki says, "What are they gonna do, take away your children?" Really, as long as that doesn't happen, I know I'll be okay.
And I don't have any children. |
