Failure, its all around us. On youtube, at our jobs/schools/etc etc. But what is the true essence, what makes up failure? This is something even Confucious would have difficulty answering.
And on that note this is probably going to be moved to spam

This post.

But seriously, it's an interesting question to discuss. Actually no, not really. Fail is the absence of win, in much the same way fall is the absence of fly and boring is the absence of fun. Though it could be subjective, fail is mostly a socially agreed on condition, a bit like a convention. We all agree on some things as the absence of win, but I believe true fail to include the original intent to win, and a genuine failure to achieve this, rather than the absence of intent to win or the genuine unawareness of the person that he or she is failing.
A past can last a lifetime.

It's simple...Fail, as in failure, as in, not accomplishing. Everyone is the cause of fail because everyone loses at some point. Some people just fail more often than others. Now, you could say that this person is good a basketball, but sucks at computer repairing, where as this guy is the complete opposite so they both fail when it comes to those specific things they suck at. Which, how ever, would be incorrect to an extent. If the basketball guy attempts to do computer repair, than yes..he fails..but if he never attempts it, then he doesn't fail. You can not fail at something you do not attempt for you never had the chance to fail at it.

We're all getting trolled by Mayans. They probably thought "Fuck this shit, let's end the calendar and say shit's gonna go down."

hehe, yea, mine got deleted too. The one that said that Kyuu's post was win.

There's a thing in the rules that say something about your setence has to be on topic and a certain length or else it's considered spam.

Isn't not attempting something also a failure of sorts, seeing as you fail to try?
And personally, I think failure is most well defined by people, keeps it simple too. We fail because we are not perfect, etc. So trying not to fail at every junction in life is pointless.

Well, if you look at it like that, then everyone fails every second of every day, of every year. Obama failed to not be president, I failed to not go to school today because I'm sick, you failed to not reply to my post just now, Haruka123 failed at being a troll...I mean, it's a never ending world of FAIL!!!! /cry

Miss South Carolina... don't know what I'm talking about? YouTube it. It will likely be the first video you see on the list.

Fail will be understood after watching and listening to this enlightened woman.
