THE ART OF LOSING

self analyses/an account

I read this poem, as a teenager and still, it is here with me again.

The poem starts with this astonishing statement which declares that "losing things and not being worried about the lost things is an ART." This art can be learned by all human beings with practice, patience, and acceptance.

The poetess tells us about her own losses by saying, that no loss is basically a disaster if one has learned the "ART OF LOSING".

I mentioned this poem because the whole philosophy of life revolves around it. We lose something every day, I guess. Sometimes small things and sometimes, we get to face bigger losses and challenges.
The materialistic and emotional losses both are a part of the game of life.

Yes my lovely friends, we just need to learn the rules of the game. The most game-changing rule or you can also call it the "Queen Rule" is the rule of acceptance. If you accept life, as it is given to you, it will create a "win-win" situation in the game for you.

We lose a part of our life every day. Every day, a precious part of us becomes a precious memory. Accept it with grace and cherish this "transformation of life into another space and time".

Please stop worrying over the loss of your favorite dress, jewelry, job, car, or even house. No loss can change your life into a disaster if you do not want, your life to be a disaster.

Take my words over it, that even losing your most reliable relationship will not make your life less meaningful or ugly. Maybe it will add more meaning to your life.

The loss can make you turn in the right direction or you may start to perceive the true essence of life and being alive.

Just accept the loss like a gladiator and fight till the end. Believe me, you will conquer the darkness, once you learn the "ART OF LOSING". I will close the writing with the last illusion breaking line of the poem
