Boo Hoo...you whine because you have not been granted the end that people desire, as if it should simply fall from the sky or that you are entitled to this end, and when you don't receive what you believe is yours, then you become the victim of a "cruel joke", a lie told to children. Bah. You are becoming more foolish than you thought you were.
Such ends are virtues, they are values that man desires, "what ought be"; they are ends that require effort and are not his by right, they are the rewards for his actions. Contemplate a world where man did not strive for what he desires, not merely accepts what he has, and tell us how good such a world sounds? Is wealth not real, since so many do not acheive it? Is happiness not real, since so many are unhappy? Is justice not real, since it has been denied to so many?
Get out of the pity phase and learn from this lesson.
