Admit it.

It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he (or she) searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself.

That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior.

Isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But... that isn't true salvation. Wouldn't you feel more relieved simply by admitting that you're a failure of a human?
