Zero Sum Game in Love or Life ©️Dawn Minott | for Women’s History Month

The zero-sum game in love is always lose-lose, never win-win. 100% or nothing.

Love measured in fractions isn’t love at all because —

Love demands presence, not pretense; commitment, not calculation.

When one must lose for the other to win, both hearts bear the cost.

True love, like true success, multiplies rather than divides, expands rather than contracts.

The moment love becomes a competition, it ceases to be love and becomes a transaction—one where everyone walks away empty-handed/hearted.

The same is true in life—the zero-sum game in life is always lose-lose, never win-win. 100% or nothing.

Progress in life, built on someone else’s loss is not progress at all because—

True advancement uplifts rather than undermines.

When one person’s success comes at the expense of another’s dignity, opportunity, or well-being, it is not progress—it is exploitation disguised as achievement. 

This is the fallacy that fuels resistance to gender equality: the mistaken belief that when women gain, men must lose.

But gender equality is not a competition—it’s a collective advancement.

A world where women thrive is a world where everyone benefits.

Stronger economies, healthier families, more just societies—these are not prizes won at someone’s expense but shared victories that uplift us all.

True equality doesn’t divide; it multiplies.

The only real win is one we build together.
