Life is a Success. Small Dialectics of Failure - The logic of success—betting that failure is or has a virtue—is problematic: if it is good and maybe even necessary to fail, in order to succeed, what ought I do here and now and what may I hope for, to succeed or to fail? For those who understand that success in life is neither a success of life nor failing at it a failure, failure appears not only inevitable, but undoubtedly enviable because it allows to achieve—in the sense of reaching the shore. The purpose of these lines is to think failure as a stranding.
