The words "winners" and "losers"have many meanings.When we refer to a person as a winner,we do not mean one who beats the other guy by winning over him and making him lose.To us,a winter is one who responds authentically by being credible,trustworthy,responsive,and genoine,both as an individual and and as a member of a society.A loser is one who fail to respond authentically.Martin Buber expresses this idea as he retells an old story of a rabbi who on his death bed sees himself as a loser.The rabbi laments that,in the world to come,he will not be asked why he wasn't Moses;he will be asķed why wasn't himself.
