Saffrons are older and wiser
Some people are able to rationalise their disappointment, to place it in its proper context. Like Boris Becker. The German once reacted to a shock exit from Wimbledon by remarking that he hadn’t started a war and no-one had died.
Sonny Liston took the opposite view. The heavyweight champion of the world was so despondent at having lost his crown to a young Cassius Clay that he was prompted to remark that even elevators didn’t stop for him anymore.
