I don't like this because I hate to lose. Good losers, as someone said, are those with lots of practice. By this measure, God is a very good loser. The surprising thing is that he keeps on trying. We tend not to do again what in the past has failed.
Failure is a very nasty word in our culture.
A coach remains a coach only when the win-loss record is in his favor. A week later, there's a new name on the front door. My worst moment of failure was my last election. I lost in the landslide of 1994 as people turned against Democrats all over the country. It took me several years to rebuild and recover.
