well I get really bored in class so me and a bunch of my friends chirp eachother and talk about random things and during one of these random sessions I came up with this. and we all were like "ZOMG!! WTH!!??! OMG!" Yeah we were like tripping hardcore.

"If you fail at failing are you a success?
But if you fail you succeed at failing.
But if you succeed you fail at failing.
So can either Success or fail exist?"

- Jimmeh


Is this not crazy!?! we talked about this for like a week. and we still can't figure it out. Post your Opinions.
 
Yes, you do succeed, at failing, but that doesn't mean you succeed at whatever you initially failed at.

Success and failure are applied to situations in which there is a clear win/loss.
Failure and success, themselves, are not situations, nor are they situations with clear win/loss, therefore to say one can fail at failing is redundant and ultimately not possible, in a sense. (The same goes for success)

So yes, if you fail, you succeed at failing, but that doesn't mean you succeed at whatever you fail at. Thus yes, success and failure are very real and very finite in terms of their application
 
Just Drop it..

Its one of those questions you cannot answer like what came first? The Chicken or the Egg?
 
Sounds like you coined a new philosophy. Better be quick and get the tshirts printed up, before I do. :)

Just to be difficult...if you believe the theory of evolution (yes we still have to say that) then the egg came first as the animal looking after that egg would have been slightly different to the egg that had a new genetic variation in it and is now what we call a chicken :O

Mystery solved!
