I lost yet I won...

What does one do when sitting idle in his summer holidays with practically not much on the mind.He thinks about various things,diverse things, phrases , quotes , advertisements seem to fiddle with his mind.Something similar happened to me , happens to me and one particular quote which has been the epitome of our regional cinema "kyunki haar ke jeetne ko baazigar kehte hain". A TV commercial has made me think as the commercial revolves around the quote " jab mera beta mujhko haraega , main jeet jaaungi".Interesting isn't it? Wondering what? Let me try to put forward a view point.

When I think about a goal there are always two things that are arguably the concerns of many, Winning or Losing.Does one talk about a goal having two points of win and loss? A goal can either be won or lost then how can one lose yet win it? Is there a hint of a goal residing in another like a nested goal? Let me talk about it a bit more.

When we talk about a nested goal then we should achieve both the goals. Yes?
If no, then explain to yourself why would one want to lose? To help someone else? For some sort of inner peace? To create an opportunity to win something bigger and more important?
In doing all this isn't he/she ultimately achieving something or winning something for himself/herself finally? If he/she is then why say " I lost to win something?" .

Loss is when someone who wants to achieve something , some goal and he/she is not able to achieve it.That is loss, right?
How can one loss something that he/she never wanted to achieve?
For example : A coach trains a player and one day he/she beats his/her coach so did the coach lost yet won by making his/her apprentice better than him/her? I don't think so.The coach simply achieved his goal and hence won , there wasn't really a loss.Was there?

The so called loss was never really a loss beacause one never wanted to win it.He/she didn't consider it a goal which he/she was after. It was something else and this so called "loss" paved way for the victory or achievement of a goal which many would call "the ultimate victory" , "the actual victory"
so why the farce of saying " I lost to win" .
