Think of All?
The scenario states that there was a football competition. The winning team won by 29 goals and was awarded a trophy. The losing team was awarded the participation trophy. The thing the winning team hated was that they both got the same trophy. Now was it justified to give both the teams a trophy? The losing team said it was given to them so that they could build self-confidence and it wouldn't crush their spirit while we all know why a winning team gets a trophy.
So was that the right thing to do or not?
If we think from the pov of the winning team, they deserve the trophy cuz they worked for it, but giving it to the losing team reduces its value. Why win if you are getting the same result? What is the use of all the hard work if it's not getting appreciated ? Why even try? The losing team doesn't deserve the trophy, they didn't win and they weren't better than us.
But they were given the trophy to keep up their spirits, to not disappoint them, to make them realize they did a good job too! Most importantly, they aren't losers, they just need to work a bit more and they too can win someday.
This is what is always gonna happen. You cannot always think about everybody. When you think about the feelings of one group, you end up hurting the other. There can never be a way where both sides stay satisfied.
No matter how hard you try, you have to pick one side, always. And those choices become the reason the way your life is as it is. For every choice you make, you open a new door of your life but at the same time, you close one too.
