Rational and reasonable people don't care if you fail. The shitty flip side of this coin is that there's no shortage of irrational and unreasonable people in the world.

Failure isn't the hard part, nor is other people seeing it, it's the people that go out of their way to shit on you for a shortcoming. I feel like there's at least one asshole for every two reasonable people, at least in a metropolitan area.

Your world view and experience is likely different if you live in a small town out in the boonies, where assholes can be pretty easily avoided. It's hard to avoid assholes in a literal sea of people.

I honestly wouldn't be shocked if someone, somehow, streamed WW3's "Normandy Beach" moment in the (hopefully distant) future.

That’s all they should be without a flair at the bottom.. Gotta wonder how many of these have been x-ray’d in emergency rooms.
