In conversation, I had the thought that, "sometimes just surviving is a victory." It was an interesting concept to me. It reminded me of the saying that you have to keep running faster just to stay in place. And yet, it wasn't quite that.
Victory is all about gaining. You have something new that you've acquired through some kind of competition. And yet, sometimes people have to "fight for their lives". In that case, they aren't trying to gain something new; they're trying to prevent a loss.
Sometimes, knowing that you haven't lost is a victory, too. Being able to "fight another day" means that the battle isn't over; it means that we can keep trying. In that sense, as long as you have a chance to win, you can keep doing it until you do grab that victory.
