Depends on where you are standing?
Does it not?
I have lost many times.
But 5 or 10 years later or so in perspective, I keep finding most losses are gains?
I never wanted that which I lost.
I never gain that which I do not have.
My greatest victories in life are things I have learned from my failures or losses.
I find life is not linear.
Not exact.
In all honesty, would I have found one, I would have taken a more comfortable path in life?
But that's not how it works?
Not if you are spun like me.
Right now in my life, I am finally letting go of things I really believed I wanted.
But found I did not want at all.
I learned that I do not want to be an alibi.
I learned that if I do not wish to be an alibi, I had best not step into a room where people very much need alibis?
I guess that is a victory?
But it felt like a loss.
Life is.
