Bummer way to listen to sports scores listen for the home teams that lose now picture the kids brought to see their firstest games indoctrinated sad into loss in a more personal way a kid's primer on deeper more real loss in preparation for best case later in life when said loss becomes more inevitable, something to let flow around you with a kind of resignation.
Bummer way to watch the news instead of nodding in solemn judgment or fear at the shame that thieves murderers etc have brought upon themselves rather empathize with the moment they were forced too late to recognize where their own mistaken judgment had led them, to instant forever loss to rot in jail or lose their families or real communities to spend a good part of time ostracized, cast out to either never find forgiveness or have to fight every year for many to find some smidgeon of it.
