Are there really winners and losers in life?

They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues

Yes to every question.

Some people are destined to a charmed or terrifible life.

Rich kids often have more resources and connections. More likely to be winners.

Without losers how could there be winners?

Now go think about what you’ve done with this thread

I suppose many of the biggest “ losers” in life are those who have found meaning doing things that don’t please the herd . That is, they are actually winning , but the herd is too busy looking for other characteristics to notice.

The monks and nuns at my temple who took a vow of poverty are winners. This free climber that lives in his van I know is a winner. Imho , anybody who is true to themselves and seeks a meaningful life is a winner. So it depends on what you value.

If you are referring to emotional intelligence or successful intuition or factors that make people be harmonious in their environment, these are mostly nature rather than nurture, imho. Some people just have it. Others don’t.

The master and the servant have exactly the same fate.

Mostly depends on the family you were born into.

Second part is luck.

Third is effort.

Recent large scale study actually showed luck is a bigger factor in wealth for people born into similar socio economic situations. I was surprised by that but that is what the study showed.

If not posting stupid shite on the Poli board is what it takes to be a winner then son, I must be a loser.
