S: I was watching this Hindi film once and there was this line: The only person that knows what winning is is the loser.

A: It’s a good line. Thoughts?

S: In relation to relationships.

A: How so?

S: Only someone not in a relationship, that finds it difficult to get into relationships, only they can understand what it means to be in a relationship.

A: There’s some truth to that.

S: And also, when that person, the loser in love, when that person gets into a relationship, then only they can rightly value that relationship. Because the relationship is the win. The relationship is winning in this life.

A: Scarcity creates value.

S: When there have never been those in your life, they become diamonds of people.

A: The loser has won?

S: That is a tale that will remain untold. And no one knows the ending. Only the beginning.
