I think that it depends on who you are surrounded with.. who mentors or counsels you in helping to figure things out... if you don't have good ones then or if you are prideful then you'll not have as good of luck in life as those that have good and smart people to surround them

@Danez none of it seems fair you try your hardest to learn from other people's mistakes you try to be good but still everyday life beats you down
Danez · M
@LeahUnknown yeah I know... but I look at it this way. Take whatever small victories you experience cherish and celebrate them. You cannot measure your successes against other's successes. That is a sure recipe for stress and anxieties. I used to think that is what everyone must do... if someone else gets a house and a new car then I must need to do that. But there are many many other things I can celebrate and count as MY success, like that I have 3 really good kids that are caring and beautiful on the inside and out. We enjoy spending time together and thinking about friends and family. Sure I have my share of failures but I can't dwell on them or let them define my life.

I believe that some people are born into shitty lives and suffer more than others but it's up to them if they give up on it all together...

I congratulate you. I’m not judging either and I never would wish for somome to give up or even feel that way. I’m just saying personally for me on the subject of giving up because I’ve been there and I’m there right now. it isn’t always as selfish as some may think sometimes just staying for someone is also selfish. (Just my opinion)

I prefer to go with the glass is half full. I think if you just get up every day and keep trying it's not considered a failure.

Life can be a cruel place and a decent amount of people are born into that.
@NightGalleries very sadly yes

That is a good question. I was one that was born in a situation where I was suppose to never succeed at anything. I was told I did not have the capacity to succeed by family. But I did it anyway with lots of hard work. So that makes me believe that anyone can succeed if they try hard enough. And succeeding is not always easy but it can be done.

we are moving towards equality of opportunity but we are not there yet. so it could be that we have not tried hard enough or it could be that we just have not had the breaks.
MethDozer · M
@Tuscan Yet equality of outcome is what the current uprisings are trying to create and move us away from equality of opportunity.
Though your analogy doesn't work and doesn't have anything to do with the principle of equality of outcome. Equality of outcome means everyone basically has all has the same amount of wealth and success in life as anyone else. The lazy dumb fuck gets to eat the same kind of steak as the engineer so to speak..

I don't think we're born to fail but I do think we are programmed to think either negatively or positively in our childhood. People that are 'failing' to not believe they can win.

We are born a blank slate. Neither a winner or a failure.
