It’s not whether you win or lose.
It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game that’s important
Of course some say winning is all that matters.
These sayings can be used in a life analogy:
Life is like a game, and it is also not like a game.
It is not important whether you win or lose.
You can play the game however you like.
Winning or losing would mean that there is a destination.
A destination is not the same as a purpose.
A purpose is however you want to play the game.
If one says that our destination is to cease to exist, then it would seem to me that however you want to play the game is fine.
If one says that our destination is a permanent location e.g. heaven or hell, then however you play the game is still up to you, but it might matter to you whether you win or lose.
If one says that there is only a path, or a continuation of all things, and that all things are impermanent, then however you play the game is still up to you, but you would think that one would keep their eye on the path, instead of the destination.
If the destination becomes most important, then it would seem that the current path, only matters, in that the end results are achieved.
I believe it is important to many individuals, which way they think.
I believe that there is only a path. The path varies, depending on nothing and everything. The location, life form, or no life form, and belief or non-belief varies the path.
I believe purpose is whatever we choose to do on the path.
I don’t believe that one can be other than on the path.
I believe that since I believe that all existence is on a path to no permanent destination, that all existence affects all other existence including our own.
Since we affect all other existence, and all other existence affects us, then everything is interconnected in a way that all existence is in the “same boat” so to speak.
I believe that if all existence becomes mindful of this, (and it may or may not) then it may be better for all existence.
I believe that life exists because it wants to.
I believe that life “wants to” because it makes it happy!
