There is no competitor in the dispute but what an individual receives at the end of this challenge is a climb up the ladder of self-growth. This ascend is a boost to his emotions as it fosters humility and help develop maturity, which opens up new opportunities for this individual to tread upon.

It is like being in a meditative state even if the physical world is blaring horns at you or at each other!
This kind of win is what will make you attain your fulfillment as a human being.
