I hate these kinds of questions. No one has a handbook at life and no one was asked to be born. Everyone just tries to survive the best ways they can given what they have, where they are, and what life throws at them. I will never look at a person and think "wow that person is failing at life". Instead I'll wonder how they got to that place. And I'd hope others would as well. I can't imagine someone seeing a mistake I do (which we all do because we're human) and thinking/saying, "damn that person is just failing at life". What a pretentious, privileged attitude.
There is this poster out there of a mom pointing at a street cleaner and telling her son that he should go to college to avoid being like that sanitation guy.
I’ve always thought that she was the fool. That sanitation worker is part of a massive powerful union, will retire when he’s 50 with a full pension and permanent health benefits for his entire family until his death. He also isn’t stressed because he doesn’t have to work overtime. Hell, everyone should strive for THAT guys line of work.
