You're missing my point. I'm saying that while some things seem like they're the end of the world, they're usually not. It's important to remember that when faced with those circumstances, because it keeps you grounded in reality and looking toward the future.
- logicallee 13y agoI'm not missing the point - I think your point is inconsiderate.
- nkohari 13y agoWell, that's just, like, your opinion man.
- greghinch 13y agoThe truth can often seem inconsiderate. That doesn't make it less true
- dorkrawk 13y agoI think he's saying that a failed startup is like the end of your first serious high school relationship. It was your whole world for a while and when it comes crashing down it feels like nothing will ever be right again. But life goes on and if you're lucky you eventually look back and realized that you learned a lot and grew as a person and you've moved forward to other things that are now important to you.
- dvanduzer 13y agoIt doesn't really help to comfort a broken hearted teenager by saying, "don't worry, you'll find love again! Just look at me and my beautiful wife!"
- nkohari 13y agoExcept that, in your analogy, my wife is now married to someone else.
- dvanduzer 13y agoThe point of the analogy is merely this: You are telling someone going through a potentially awful experience that you were in an entirely different situation where the outcome for you was far far better. So if you really want to stick with the analogy, it's like an amicably-divorced-and-remarried man telling a widower to just cheer up.
