The Failure…..

“It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.”
As the above quotation indicates sheepishly, people are really like this. Quick to console the others, but themselves are quite inconsolable. What if you were in the same set of circumstances that led to one’s failure. I find myself many a times in the same kind of awkward situation when I have to console a friend or an acquaintance of mine who has just faced a failure. The failure, had it occurred to me, would have shattered me into pieces. Then how can I lie to any of my friend by saying that it just doesn’t matter. Totally direction less in this regard…. Don’t know how to proceed in such matters…. I just can’t say the things to others with double standards embedded therein….
