The problem is, if you really believe in a society where those who merit to get to the top, get to the top, you'll also, by implication, and in a far more nasty way, believe in a society where those who deserve to get to the bottom also get to the bottom and stay there. I nother words, your position in life comes to seem not accidental, but merited and deserved. And that makes failure seem much more crushing.
問題是,如果你打從心里相信,那些在社會頂層的人都是精英,同時你也暗示著,以一種殘忍的方法,相信那些在社會底層的人,天生就該在社會底層,換句話說,你在社會的地位不是偶然,而都是你配得的,這種想法讓失敗變得更殘忍。
