I'm glad you put that in quotation marks because there are people who absolutely think that way.

Yeah-- people who have worked hard and enjoyed success don't really understand what it means to work hard over and over-- intelligently even-- and to continually fail.

If their success was rewarded commensurate to their struggles? Then that rule should apply to everyone. Using this logic, it's easy to justify the unsuccessful as lazy or otherwise unworthy.

It's easier than admitting that we live in a random, cruel, and blatantly unfair world where despite our best efforts, we do not always prosper.
