Zero-sum solutions are *not* the only solutions, and assuming that they are causes much of the pain in the world.
Creativity, imagination, and a modicum of caring can in so very many cases lead to solutions in which everyone comes out ahead...though some may think they didn't come out *enough* ahead, which is often the sticking point that leads to the zero-sum option being chosen.

I saw a "true story" TV show recently, where the Coach of a high school football team on a losing streak, asked the opposing Coach of the high school football team on a winning streak, to allow a player on his team to catch a pass. The player was developmentally challenged, and had never even participated in a game, always on the bench cheering for his team. The opposing team not only let him catch the pass, but they "helped" him make a touchdown. The winning team lost a few points. Everybody went home a winner.

No... sometimes the real *wins* are in the *losses*. There is a balance... but it is OUR perspective that makes the ruling. Because it is so subjective, there is no clear-cut demarcation.
The balance is found in the learning... not in defining the part which wins, or the part that loses.

If there is a winner declared, then someone has to lose. Yin/Yang.

There are no winners or losers...it's how you play the game that counts.
