Now ‘winning and losing’ is something we
have known at the outset in childhood itself. Being the winner oneself is just
one dimension, even cheering for the winning team is imperative; else you’re a ‘loser’.
When we spend those large sums of money on attending live games, or betting on racing
horses, it’s your respect at stake not the horses’! We gamble, and if we lose, we
lose the game, the bet, probably some money, and apparently our self-regard
too! What an irrational world this planet has become!
