I'm not hung up on semantics, if you want to call that winning, fine, I just think winning implies a different mindset than escaping safely so I choose to use different words.
Yes, that is
your definition of winning. Adam gave a different definition; saving people's lives, restoring peace and showing mercy. In sports, opponents hug each other after a victory. So, their definition is different also. Winning can be positive. It doesn't have to be negative. One can choose the way they want to frame it.
One can look at money as being evil, which may make them lazy, unproductive and selfish. While, others may view it as an opportunity to help people and make the world a better place. Are Warren Buffett and Bill Gates only interested in money for themselves or helping others too? They would not be able to help people, if they were
losing money, rather than making (
winning) money.
