We've all experienced failure, I can declare with some confidence.  But what happens when a person fails at their goals perpetually?  Should they really be labeled a "failure"?

Do you think the people themselves are to blame if they fail?  Should they be pitied or scorned?

I'd like to read other peoples' stories about both their successes and failures in life, and how it affected their world-views.  If you've ever worked hard to achieve a goal, let us know if it worked out or not.

You're a failure, Pig.   :hahaha:

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Yes, he is. The other day he even addressed our new member in the shoutbox.

Have come to think of Pig as I2's very own basement dweller, always around but never coming up the stairs. Have been wondering lately if Bodaccea has joined him down there.

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

successful at failing

I've been wondering about this because this does exist for me. I don't understand how it triggers but it's like an overriding expectation that success is simply not valued. The death drive takes over and tells you that it was a total waste of time for everyone because it's not NEEDED. Maybe something to do with the nature of contracted agreements of problems that nobody asked to solve.
