Can you accept being a loser in this world?

rinzler, i guess you still judge being a loser from STS values.

If someone is not wealthy, influential or famous doesn't make one a loser.

If you measure "success" from STS point of view and your not rich, then you are a loser.

If you measure "success" from STO values, then if you are happy, open-hearted and in peace with everything, then you are not a loser.

Don't narrow existence down to the STS competition game the most of humanity is involved in nowadays. Yoy may think of native anericans, who has a society based on dufferent values. One of them said: "Canada, the most affluent of countries, operates on a depletion economy which leaves destruction in its wake. Your people are driven by a terrible sense of deficiency. When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money."

Here's another example of this point of view, from native of Laos. Someone may say he is a loser. I'd say he is a winner, hands down)

You may watch "Hesher" movie and "Big Lebowski" to cheer yourself up (in case you need it)

BTW, I think that is why we have worldly and spiritual life segregation: those who decided to be dedicated to STO way found mundane world, where most people concern with their own benefit and profit, not really conducive for spiritual life, hence almost all cultures and religions has monasteries and other places of dedicated spiritual activity.
