We are evolved so as to lose and win based on individual valence. Furthermore, wins and losses of equal objective type and degree are interpreted under different individual valence. Once gained, losses feel greater than the original wins, not vice versa. Therefore, do not be deterred by the overwhelming feeling of the losses, as the wins are already more significant, by subjective sensibility extrapolated and error-corrected to the objective reality.
