There is no one to have a loss, if there is no
individual life. But this is so basic that I think
you must have something else in mind.

To say that not getting a raise at work is a loss
is true. But if the person is happy at home to an
extent that they are not aware of nor troubled
by the loss, most of the time, then it is a loss to
a lesser degree. If a person has a spiritual being
that was before life and after then is there a loss?
