a time for defeat

They lost quite badly today. Compared to the NgeeAnn one, this is the 2nd worst defeat or the worst defeat so far? I dunno. I am not them. They are the ones going through the training, they are the ones playing the match. They feel it, they suffer from it. I can never be in their shoes. The extent of the pain, the regrets they feel, I dont think I can ever experience it.
I can only cry with them and comfort them, and then walk them out of it.
Crying is good, it means they are uncomfortable. It means they dont want to lose and will therefore work harder the next time. It would worry me more if they dont show sadness.
But they cried so bad. Maybe I shd say they wailed, because they didnt just cried. They wailed and sobbed..
Amanda seems strong to me, but she cried bad also. It surprised me too see her like this. I have seen another side of her.
I am glad Weishi is there to comfort them. Being their senior and their captain, she is in a good position to comfort them.
Sometimes, I feel like an outsider. Sometimes I feel that I really am an outsider. They need people whom they identify as an insider to help them, and to disciple them.
I wonder if I am wasting my time. Will I achieve anything with them? Maybe there is someone in a better position to help them. Sigh, time and again, I wondered about this question.
This a long term question that SHSS have been facing.. Lord help us...
