But what if two or more people are wishing for the exact same thing—wanting it with the same level of intensity, the same longing, the same yearning, exerting an equal amount of effort towards it–whose wish would be granted?
How are winners chosen and how should losers cope?
No one could fault you for being bitter and angry and just devastated if you don’t get what you’ve set your heart on for so long. More so if the prize goes to someone you think is far less deserving.
