A great story and my take on the term Looser is its not a bad thing I think at times we all win and we all loose is how we take loosing
If you go out and play a sport say and do your bets but the other team is Better on the day, sure by the score board you may be the loser, but if you played your best or at least had fun playing the game you are also a winner in my minds eye
That said I do feel some societies have gone to scared of hate word Looser and for such things as kids sport i have read there is no winner or looser as that is hard on the kids, I disagree with that, learning to loose wellis an important as learning to win well.
If the mentality could be for everyone that winning or loosing isnt as important as participating then perhaps children and indeed some adults may place a different perspective on the term loser
Losing is definitely not a bad thing at all. Like you said, it teaches us a lot of things and yes, you are right that teaching kids that there is no winner or loser isn't too healthy either. A couple of months back, I read a great post on how teaching kids that everyone is a winner and that there is no loser or winner makes them more vulnerable to heartaches and depression because when they don't learn to take a loss in a healthy way, they become too used to having it their way and the problem arises when they do go through actual and harsh losses such as heartaches, losing a job, financial struggles and so on. It is then when depression kicks in hard and they often succumb to it. So yeah, teaching kids how to accept a loss happily and use it to move towards a victory is very important. I had this talk with my husband last night too and he understood it. There have been a lot of unhealthy experiences in his life that made his nurture a judgmental attitude towards the word loss, but now he is willing to improve his take on it because he knows his attitude will influence his son in a biased way and he too does not want that.
