There are few things in life as satisfying as seeing someone else fail at something stupid. It is almost as satisfying as seeing someone succeed in a worthwhile cause. I don’t claim to be the final judge on what is worthy and unworthy, but I think the distinctions are typically clear on a moral level. Apparently remedial social education is in order more these days than we care to admit.
Obviously there is some small personal experience that is the root cause of this short tirade. That is not the important thing here. The important thing for me is to openly admit that failure is sometimes necessary not only to teach a lesson, but also to provide some level of entertainment for the viewing public.
