Is meditation a way for losers to cowardly remove themselves from the survival game of life?

The position of winning or losing is temporal, which is why those driven by the urge to win at all costs can never be happy...... every success they achieve adds further to the risk of eventual failure..... the wise one realizes this and instead of going through the painfully long and twisted route, prefers to put ego to rest and remain tranquil, calm and peaceful in mind. There is thin though very clear line between being wise and being coward as there is between being courageous and foolishly brave..... true courage lies in reining in oneself than letting oneself go astray.
