Survival is sometimes a victory.

I think really there are going to be a lot of times in life, where we fail in some spectacular manners or don't really succeed all that much. Yet, do we really lose? If we step out of the situation with most of our dignity and our lives intact, is that really not considered a victory? I might win, I might lose, but if I survive this situation, I've at least gotten some valuable life experience. Survival or even outlasting everyone else in a no win situation for anyone, that's kind of a victory in my book.

You remember, man, it governs the power of peoples, joints to establish peace, to spare those who submit and to crush the proud: this is your mission. Just trying to survive today, May to end up a winner than the one yesterday,and less successful than that of tomorrow.Moral evil can not be thrown on the shoulders of free elections, but ultimately misguided people, because most times, elections are effects and not causes. Wars, crime, abuse, discrimination does not spring from a mind free,but they have their origin in human nature itself, which is definitely prone to evil. Man was not given the opportunity to freely choose between good and evil, than metaphorically. Somebody said that man's instinctive egoism can not be classified as bad because it is natural, the man helping him to survive. But look to see what this human predisposition, and we believe that naturalness can not be judged and labeled as being bad or good. Man to survive must be indifferent to the surrounding world, compared to others' needs and weaknesses of the weak, and if after 7 years of life, from childhood, this rule change,is due only to the fact that society Today,promises the lives of those unable.So if we can survive in such a society, we are definitely some winners!

Yeah society has changed very much in recent years. It is not who wins or loses, but rather who can weather the storm and come out mostly intact. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.
