It would take some stupid conceit for me to think I've failed if I am not the most attractive, or the smartest, or the nicest.
And it would take an ego the size of new jersey fpr me to get all pissy because someone else exceeded me in these traits.
Its just a fact of life that someone, somewhere is bigger or stronger or faster, or smarter, more attractive, perhaps wealthier, kinder, or just plain old better loved than me.
O Fortune,
like the moon
you are changeable,
ever waxing
and waning;
hateful life
first oppresses
and then soothes
as fancy takes it;
poverty
and power
it melts them like ice.
Nobody gets to be perfect. Why have a complex about it?
