I feel somewhat qualified to comment/pontificate on this rather pertinent, extremely topical matter (of recent days), having been presented with The Book of Losers by a beloved (then despised) sister in my mid-teens (I believe for either my 15th or 16th birth-anniversary). I simply wish to share 4 ruminations on the subject.
These are components of a good working, workable definition:
*Someone who knows all the answers to irrelevant questions and/or knows the proper outcome and method in advance but is never willing to share such with others in time to tangibly improve the outcome.
*Someone who ever stands ready and prepared to throw barbs at others' efforts from the safe comfort of her or his cosy armchair.
*Someone who ridicules another's rather conspicuous failings but won't ever lend a helping hand much less finger to make matters better.
*Someone who simply knows - beyond a shadow of a doubt, though they'll rarely openly confess to the fact - that God doesn't exist, and hence proves, in his/her evident omniscience, that there really is a God.
That God clearly, though again it won't be admitted, being indistinguishable from him/herself.
But must get some shuteye, the reason - in a totally different way - I've been a bit of a big loser myself of late...as the 'ole saying still goes, being tried and true throughout every generation: "early to bed, early to rise, makes a [person] healthy, wealthy and wise"...though admittedly am still to experience the second lot of benefits, in a 'purely' material sense that is...
