In sport and life - It is important to be good and strong but unimportant to win

The stronger you are the less you need to win
to win over your ego, over your weakness and over pain THAT however is of utmost importance

Winning means making others feel bad
being good and strong motivates others to be good as well
being good - really good and really strong can uplift others and help them grow stronger themselves

making them losers may discourage at least the weaker ones among others

There are thousands of ways to be good and never have to win at all

with my children I use to play only games that have no winner and no loser - just fun for all.

some of these typical sports without winner or loser is dancing, surfing, windsurfing, mountain climbing, martial arts, swimming alone across lakes or rivers, walking long distance - team sport where entire team just enjoys and has fun growing all together. compete against your own ego - win over it until gone until stronger than ego - until one with God

when we played monopoly - we started to give away money, freebies etc - just like in real life where you can give free hotel nights, free fun tours, tipping, etc.

God bless
