The Illusion Of Failure And Success
No one wanted to buy Vincent Van Gogh’s art when he was alive. Mozart’s coffin was a donated. His last journey to the grave was lonely. What is a successful life? What is a failed one? What is the fundamentals to avoid suffering and survive in adversities? Why is happiness so easily fragmented? For a breath of relief, humans struggle, yearn for it, and compromise for it. They obsessed with glamor and persevered in staunched ideals. Every brilliant glamor would eventual fade. Every romance will meet its good death. No poetic story is ever immortal.
In our long quest for success, can we find the path to happiness?
On one hand, we want to minimize regrets, on the other, we want to maximize possibilities. However, the road to hell may be riddled with good intentions. As limited mortals, we cannot see the dimensions of how we are at the point of maximization or minimization. We only have a limited local view, not global scale.
The root of all men is their integrity, the cause of all their success and failures depend on it. It would be the rectitude to make the fortitude. - 2005-09.20Our mission at hand is not merely making lives bearable, it's making them livable. - 2005-09.20An ill-defined intent does not necessary start with an absolute ill-intent. - 2011-07.05
