Gain and Loss (as well as all other "things" are inter-related. However, in the practical day to day existence, we all need to know which "language" we're speaking and why.

For example, full knowing that the body/mind construct is a whole, if I have a pain in my butt, it would not do me any good to tell the surgeon that "it is all the same" when he asks where to cut. I may end up with a nose job.
