Why not have a day for losers?

We have a day to honor motherhood, that is International Mothers' day. A day for fathers. A day for women, a day for men. A day for human rights, a day for peace. We also have a no smoking day. There is a day for almost everyone and everything. But there is no day to express solidarity with all the losers.

Losers are everywhere, though no one admits to it in public. For every winner, there is at least one loser. of course, one defeat does not make anyone a loser. Unfortunately for many people, defeat is the only outcome they ever experienced. There could be a million reasons for every failure. But a failure is a failure. The 'be positive' literature might give a million tips for success. Most of it is just an attempt to sell more books.

Losers live with low self-esteem. They lose the courage to try out new things. They can't celebrate anything. When the whole world celebrates (there is a celebration for almost everything), losers stay aloof. As a society, our lives are too busy to be sensitive towards losers. Losers want to run away from the mainstream, in search of solitude and empathy.

One question every loser has for the God is "why me?".  I think the best possible way to answer that question is to show a loser that he or she is not the only one, that there are so many others.

Let us declare one Sunday in any month of the year as International Losers' Day and popularize it. It will be a day to sensitize the society towards losers. It will be a day to recognize that defeat is not incompetence. It will be a day which losers can truly celebrate. I wouldn't be surprised if it finds million of takers before its first anniversary.
