Today we played kick ball, and all the females were on my team , and we got our asses kicked, and were made fun of for throwing, kicking, "running like girls", and taunted by the winners.
I did manage to make a home run (which I'm surprised I can with the injuries, but the bases were not far apart), but it was frustrating getting owned.
The other team had ten times as many points at one moment. They did rock paper scissors on how the players were divided up and our captain kept losing at that too.
Pride comes before the fall, and being a winner can make a person miss out on humility and lessons that make one wiser, meek, or charitable.
It's hard to explain, but playing and losing like that reminds me not to admire people like Napoleon.
He's a Kami I have on my wall, and I pray for his soul, that he would one day use his gifts for good, but he was a bully, picking on people weaker and less gifted than himself, to feed his ego and narcissism, need to control , and need to have power.
Being on the much weaker side in kickball today , was like being the Prussians alone , on the field against Napoleon. The other side was more gifted at throwing and kicking a ball.
But I got to leave with more wisdom and humility, that I would not have had if we didn't get our butts kicked!
I took a wise lesson from the field today, so am glad we didn't just lose...We got our asses handed to us!
It makes me reflect on and share in the privilege of experiencing what victims of oppression and bullying go through when losing at anything.
Not sure how to explain it, but can you think of a time where losing made you more wise?
