"I could have been a contender, I could have been someñ, instead of a bum which is what I am." (" Marlon Brando, "On the Waterfront")

There is a very detestable side of American culture which acts to corrupt and dishearten anyone who drinks, in a manner of speaking, from its mephitic cultural reservoir. But without this noxious pool to drink from what would, otherwise, drive the average American to rise to the top of countless little heaps of success from being an Eagle Scout to being a celebrated real estate tycoon?

There seems that there is tacit American belief that you are a loser until you are a proven winner, which is variation of the maxim, you are guilty until proven innocent. Make no mistake about it, anyone who lives in America feels like a loser until they have some tangible proof of success. Such proof can be a cheap plastic trophy, a blue ribbon, a university diploma, or a lot of money.

Generally speaking, having a lot of money is the best proof that you are a solid winner in America after going through the long dark night of being a shamefaced loser. In light of this, should we care about the millions of losers, young and old, who still populate the great American winner empire? I think the answer is obvious. We need the losers—they help define the winners. But there is a dangerous price to pay for this.

From the statistics on the mental health of America, it looks like a great deal of pressure is being put on the losers to become winners who, apparently, can’t take it, and need psychiatric help or antidepressants just to get through the day. The majority of Americans, it is true, suffer from various kinds of mental disorders directly related to a sense of feeling inferior. Such a disorder might be depression or any number of personality disorders. To kill the pain of constantly feeling like a loser many Americans take antidepressants which can have harmful side effects such as suicide or mass murder.

Despite the huge amount of mental illness in America, nobody seems to want to change the loser/winner culture. Almost rising to the level of natural law, it is forbidden in America to make leisure one’s supreme goal which is the logical antidote to treat the loser/winner culture. Ironically, in America, enjoying leisure is synonymous with laziness which is the same as being a loser.

And here we arrive at the heart of America’s collective insanity which is built upon the order of losing and winning; propped up by its myth makers who believe America was founded as a game in which there are only losers and winners. But little do these cognitively challenged myth makers realize that many works of genius arise from a leisure culture, leisure being the traditional meaning of school—yes school—which comes from the Greek word scholê.

Without getting rid of the loser/winner dyad, which presupposes everyone is a loser until proven otherwise, there will be no respite from America’s mental problems and violence. In fact, we can except rising rates of mental illness with no end in sight. This may be good for the bottom line of pharmaceutical companies, who sell antidepressants, but it is not good for America in the long run.

Answer 8

I am a winner because I am honest and I am unique . I do the best I can with what God gave me and I am thankful for my life. I don't compare myself to other people. Somebody will always seem like they have more or less but I am just concentrating on relying on God's stregth and his goodness and love for me so I can do something with God that God likes from what God has given me to work with.
