According to me, a sore winner is harder to take than a sore loser.
A sore loser sits and sulks and looks uninviting...so we avoid him, walk on by. A sore winner, however, suckers us in with a happy face for having won...then keeps letting her world know that she was done wrong. Since the wrong-doer even admitted it, that proves she was...is...a victim. UH-OH...avoid her, walk on by.
The best guide for resentment-free living is to be the first to admit an error of our own, the last to point out an error of another. Be the first to reach out...not to strike like a snake but to envelop with love like an old friend.
It's a hard lesson learning that we are one hundred percent responsible for our own attitude, and resentment-free living is one hundred percent reliant on our attitude. It does not matter whether we win or we lose...it is our attitude about it that will determine our happiness. And whether we draw others to us or they avoid us, walk on by.
The hardest lesson learning is that we, all on our own, relying solely on our own brain and will, cannot change our own mind, much less our attitude. Ah, but God can and will if sought.
Thank you.
