Why do we like It when others FAIL?

Listen to the song, "Dirty Laundry" by Don Henley (The Eagles).\n\nThe modern age accepts no heroes.  As soon as someone is famous, people can't wait to tear them down.  One year, a rock group will sell out stadiums, and the next year they can't even get a CD released.

As I get older I find that I tend to feel disappointed about all the missed opportunities in my life due to my lack of self confidence in some cases and due to my lack of self motivation in others.\nbitter and blameful no because i'm honest enough with myself to say that my failures are my own and now I have to suck it up and deal with my regrets and try to learn from not be destroyed by them

What's so wrong with hoping that everything gets better? What's so wrong with having faith in each other? I know people let you down, but it does make one's life easier...

well, yes.  but's its not like i can do something to outdo it.  as they say, we are victims of our choices.  so, if we fall, just stand up and face the world.  the mistakes and the embarassments that we have had do not make us less of a person but makes us better human beings.  we just have to learn from it and go on with life.

Because you should always remember that life has its ups dan downs. If you're success now, remember that someday you could lose. Nobody's perfect!! And you should also keep in mind that if you success, there's always somebody else who got more than you had.

Is it the fear of failure or success?  Either one is a learning experience more so the failure.  That is how we learn.  Don't be afraid to fail, be afraid to do nothing and not learn.  Be afraid of ignorance, there is no such thing as failure if you learn from it.

Some people do it to deflect from their own failures and shortcomings. Not all though blame their God for it.

To be successful you must learn to handle defeat.A lot of people who are perfectly fine when things are going their way become total basketcases when anything goes wrong.

I think it's the natural rebelliousness in us. It also tends to reinforce that "in " group feeling.

Good question.  The standard explanation - that people only put others down when they are themselves unhappy and insecure - is bullshit. It's only narrowly responsible for some classes of meanness. I think it's just plain true that people often get genuine satisfaction from being mean. Something else to consider - if there was no mean, there'd be no nice.

Why is it that when everything has been going bad, something GOOD happens?\n\nBecause we are all starting from imperfection and zero experience.  And there are temptations and pitfalls that accrue from not heeding the true basic tenets handed down over the ages, just about everywhere (including different cultures and religions).\n\nLife is a struggle, we have to team up and cope with the challenges.  There will be some disappointments along the way, you cannot control what others do, only yourself, and even yourself not always...\n\nAll the most needed things are free.  As for those things that require effort or money, be satisfied with what you really need as opposed to what you want.\n\nEven when we are old we must continually remind ourselves about this.  \n\nYou see some people who are unbelievably wealthy and unbelievably UNHAPPY and may even do crimes because they WANT SO MUCH, they are never satisfied.  Also, comes from living too much for ONESELF and not enough for others, helping others, working with others, sharing with others.\n\nHappiness is doing what is right and being satisfied with it, even when the surroundings are messy, all $%^#$&^^ up.\n\nIt is possible for heaven on earth if you think about this.  Meanwhile, you can have heaven in your own little spot, for sure.  There are ups and downs for everyone, even perfect visitors.

maybe because we have lack of knowledge to encounter some hardships and trials. but not all the time a life goes like that. as it is said, life is full of instances, sometimes you're up...sometimes you're down. enjoy your life and valued every failure and success you may encounter

Because it's FUNNY. Go along with it even if you are embarrased. Be the good-natured person.

for sure most of us like the bad ones, as we believe they r more experienced , so they will give us more pleasure, plus it would b a kind of a challenge if we got one of them as it move our ego up , coz we got the irresistable , and doing our best so we can be those with victory for having him landed ..got wt i mean ? i hope ;)
