Does it means that the world is full of successful people and successful moments and that failures are extremely rare and anormal?
It is not like that. Failure is more frequent than we think and succes is less frequent than we heard about. But success always gets to be more visible than failure.
And why is like that?
People need to value themselves and feel valued by others, desesperately and constantly.
Everyone who we meet, who we treat to, who we watch in the media, all the companies and public people, such as politicians, always try to, as much as they can, show their strengths, that can assure to them positive opinions, even if they are exaggerated or they are a lie.
Instead, our weak points, those that we think will damage the view that the others have about us, are removed, forgotten or explained in low voice just to authorized people, who we have a great confidence to.
No releasable stuff
Can you imagine a company communicating terrible feedbacks that clients are leaving about their products? Or admitting that they are practicing unfair labour politics?
Can you imagine someone explaining in his CV that he has been fired from several jobs because he is uncompetent and he has an annoyable personality?
Can you imagine someone posting this awesome dinner on Facebook or Instagram?
It will be shocked to see this situations, but are not rare, althought their main characters explaining them are very rare.
Failure make us feel alone...althought we shouldn't feel like that
The consequence of all this is that we feel alone when things go bad. Failure is rare, and it is only happening to us, because only successful people and successful events are showed to us.
But probably there are lots of people with the same problems, with the same lack of skills to overcome them, but we won't know about it on Facebook, Linkedin are a friend's dinner.
If people explained more frequently our problems or failures, maybe fail would be easier to assume.
