Win Absolves All Sins
A winner in the world is never a bad guy.
A successful person in the world is always appreciated for all the efforts he put in. His shortcomings are analyzed in the context of the times they were made in. Nobody minds what you did to achieve success as long as your story has a happy ending. That's why failures, despite being noble, are seldom worshiped. The British Empire is studied the most because in the end they won. It doesn't matter how they did it, all that matters is that they won. The people of the world might hate them but their own people won't hate them.
Winning at absolutely any means isn't the purpose of this essay. The purpose is to highlight that winning absolves you of your flaws. The memory of the people around you is more flexible than you think. It seldom punishes the winners and is often hard on the losers. If you can find a way to succeed in life in a legal way the individual flaws hardly matter. Focus on arriving at the destination rather than bothering about offending people.
It says a lot about the people who won at any cost. What would it say about a society that worships losers? A person who wins in a family or in society adds strength to his surroundings. A family gets more respect in a community if the man in the family is more successful than his peers. Such a man when marries a virtuous woman becomes even more respectful. His individual flaws cease to matter because then his strength, his abilities, his philosophy seems more beneficial than his flaws.
That is why it is imperative to focus on your strengths and win in life. The society we live in isn't perfect. It is more flexible than we think and more ruthless than we give it credit for. Failures and losers are punished by being outcast and humiliated. A person who wins in one area tends to become successful in other areas as well. Winners keep on winning because it takes one win to transform the mindset. The person becomes uninhibited after that.
Feeling dejected at every loss is shortsightedness because it doesn't matter how many times you lose. Your failures, your flaws, all the insults directed at you cease to matter at your first win. Your win will instill doubts in the mind of your insulters that maybe you aren't as weak as they thought. The new acquired mindset will ensure you will remain on the winning path. That's why the wealthiest people never respond to attacks on them by politicians because they know it will only take a backdoor deal to quieten them.
So, instead of focusing on your flaws and your weaknesses, focus on winning without breaking any laws. It takes just one win to absolve you of all your sins.
