Is There Such Thing As A Born Loser?

Perhaps only jokers like me would consider such a concept. But hold one, there’s some merit to it. Here’s why. You’re born into a loser family, I mean, a family that is almost always near the society’s poverty level, and you have like 10 more siblings. Even worse, your parents “strongly” believe that this whole world is just temporary and the only place worth their attention is that far-far-away heaven. So, why would they seriously try anything if this world isn’t meant to last? And they kind of fall back on welfare and pronounce loudly: “Kids, you’re on your own… my only advice to you is JUST STUDY THE BIBLE CAREFULLY, AND GOD WILL PROVIDE.”

My point is, if you’re one of those kids, you’re pretty much a born loser (although you will prove yourself later not to be one). But it’s tough to disprove the “born loser” theory. Suppose you do well in school and get a good college degree, then a good job. But a bunch of your siblings may not make it to the glory path you take. So they keep yelling “Bob, help me please! I just lost a bunch of money on bad trades and now the banks gonna take my house away…” Or even worse: “Bob can you please help me pay hospital bills, coz’ I have no insurance!” OK, you must have screamed out loud “How materialistic this guy is!” But tell me who is not. Money may not buy you happiness, but the lack of it surely brings you hell.

Sure you can try to escape that “loserness” or “losership” or whatever you call it, but it ain’t easy. I mean, after all they’re your family, you can’t just burn the bridges without serious heartache. Everyone knows that if you hang around with losers, you’ll be one like them. Or vice versa, if you stay away from them, things will get better. But what if staying away from them will make you unhappy? Why? It’s simple, no one ever abandon their family without feeling guilty. And if you believe in karma, it would make a dent in your heart and your mind. At the least, you just lose all the support (physically, emotionally…) from your family, the things you’re entitled to in this life. A person living with guilt, treating family like enemy can’t ever be a winner.

That’s my point exactly! So there IS such thing as a born loser.
