As the great philosophers Aerosmith once said,
"Everybody's got their dues in life to pay." and
"You gotta lose to know how to win."
Of course, saying this doesn't matter much in the big scheme of things is true. It's also beside the point. We invest a lot of time in this sport, this team, for many reasons, but probably most primal of all to fulfill a sense of belonging to a tribe. A powerful human emotion. And the tribe becomes an extension of our selves, so when disappointments happen, we are naturally going to feel disappointed.
The sad thing for me is that the highs of winning never last as long as the lows of losing.
Still, if I never invested anything emotionally in anything optional, life would be pretty vanilla.
Cheers to you all for another fun season of posting. And it was fun, more fun than any in many a year. I hope that next year brings more of the same.
