Is loss an object of reality, or merely a subjective perception?

If we think of life as an investment or a venture, and a venture as a type of adventure. Then that means we don't know how it will all turn out! Win or "lose". How we perceive the value of our journeys is entirely up to us.

I tried my hand at buying a few ancient Greek coins online recently, and it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, I GOT SCAMMED! But, instead of seeing it with the eyes of a loser, I chose instead to view it as a lesson in counterfeit. I GAINED!
