It may not be a story but it is (was) a sentence (now it is 3).
Winning and losing are different but both are unpleasant. Losing is humiliating. Winning is irritating and boring.
The Duke of Wellington said something similar about winning and battle fields.
One day my wife greatly flattered me by saying 'It's so nice being alone with you'. 'Yes' I replied 'And nothing is happening, it costs nothing, it is lovely and you can't buy it.'
