In many ways, it is harmful to be born into a society accustomed to failure. Psychologically, the effect is devastating. But failure itself, when experienced, can very well be beneficial. The problem perhaps starts with the parameters: by failing, new ones can be discovered. A new north emerges, which is perhaps worth adopting. The society that gets used to success sometimes inhibits the reflection that reveals possibilities. It creates victors who do not have to think. One day, however, they come face to face with the fundamental experience. The triumphant feeling ceases, and they envy those who, fortunately, had it when they had more time to live.
