タイトル「麻雀は人生の縮図なのか？」

Yes, this suggestion is supportable.
One reason makes the opinion acceptable.

暇な時にネット麻雀をすることがよくある。シーズン中はMリーグも視聴する。ネット麻雀は勝っても儲からないし、負けても損をしない。でも負けたら悔しい。
My free time often invites me into an online “mahjong” game, but it doesn’t make me rich and wealthy when a victorious goddess offers me a good luck, and vice versa.
But losing a game makes me a little sad and regrettable.
From October to May, many ABEMA viewers cheer their own favorite team in M-League since 2018.

ある時テレビで女性芸人が言っていたことが忘れられない。麻雀は人生の全てを教えてくれると。素晴らしく説得力のある人生訓だなと感心したことがあった。
There was an opportunity where a female comedian said that this kind of game contains what we experience in our real life, which has still remained in my mind.
Only now, such an expression she used on TV program offered me a reasonable life lesson.

麻雀をしている時にとにかく感じるのは、欲しいものが手に入らない。こんなにイライラすることはない。毎日の生活の中でそう感じることは少なくない。
We frequently feel irritated while we are absorbed in online mahjong game because we cannot gain what we really want from the bottom of our heart.
Nothing irritates us more than this situation, but such feelings might often hit us in our real daily life.

４人の中で誰か１人が無双することがある。麻雀は座った席順で勝つか負けるかが決まる。素人でも年季の入ったプロ雀士にも勝つことがある。まさに人生だ。
Sometimes only one player obtains many point sticks, which we call the inequality, and who wins or who loses depends on the seat a player sit on, which a victorious goddess cannot determines, in short, unreasonable.
Even a player with few experiences could sometimes obtain the most point sticks against other players with numerous past glories : just like life.

そして敵が３人もいる。これも人生だ。しかし人生には味方もいる。そこはかなり違う要素だ。いやMリーグはチーム戦なので味方のサポートは重要だ。
And we have three enemies on the same table, which seems like humans’ life, but we also have a close friend at the same time, a little difference.
Instead a warm supports from other three members of the same team make a difference during a long term.

攻める戦術が必ずしも勝つわけではない。守りが隙だらけになるからだ。相手が上手く進めている時は諦める。これも生きていく中で重要な教訓だ。
And an offensive strategy doesn’t always work well because our defense couldn’t protect us from other opponents’ attacks while we pay attention only to our success, which might seem unexpected.
We must give up our victory when our opponents seem to work well, which makes positive contributions to our success in the real life stages.

This reason makes the question titled above favorable.
