I don't agree. Being able to live a comfortable life and work when I want has nothing to do with the failures of others.

Morally good? Who said I wasn't?

You haven't seen anything yet. In 2-3 years I expect to be approaching a major apex.

You do not seem to understand. The way you defined success is only meaingful if others fail; there must be failure for your definition to be meaningful. And, your definition did not include moral, spiritual, character, etc. As i said, i think this hails not from forgetfulness but rather you simply do not value it as success. And, you did not reply to the wal-mart comment.

I agree with Hired Gun by the way.
Lubaolong desperately wants others to fail. If he didn't, he wouldn't constantly talk down to others, post pictures that mock the homeless, and generally refer to everyone as beneath him.
Edit: And also, Lubaolong measures success by his situation AS COMPARED to his neighbor...

So for me to have a comfy life, the guy down the street has to live in a cardboard box? They don't have to. They choose to. I am successful because I make a goal and accomplish it. I follow through. They don't. That is why I am successful and they are not. I put in the effort. They do not. I can't be responsible for my neighbor. Just because not everyone else is accomplishing the same thing doesn't take away anything from what I am doing. There can't be happiness without sorrow, right? So happiness is the binary opposition to sorrow. It is the "sorrow" that defines your "happiness". Your "happiness" only makes sense to the sorrow of others. So you shouldn't seek happiness, and if you find it, you are trash because you only enjoy it if sorrow exists in the world. Please.

Everyone uses their fellow man as a measuring stick. If I make $50k a year and can live a luxurious life because the average salary where I live is $1, then I have made it big. If I live in a world where the average salary is $5 million, then I haven't done so well.
