"you can do all the right things and still fail. That's not a weakness. That's life"

[Ambivalent1]

Captain Picard with his good, fatherly sayings. Is the quote comforting?

 

[ijustwishtodie]

This quote isn't comforting but it's realistic and I always prefer realism to bullshit optimism even if the former is depressing to acknowledge

 

[carac]

I find it quite comforting

I know this is quite a cliche thing to say but sometimes it's more about trying than the end result. Because doing your best is the only thing you can really account for. There are so many other variables out of your control that could go against you and often you can't do anything about these, just do your best.

It's a solid quote 9/10

It's a solid quote 9/10

Why isn't it 10/10?

 

[Spectre]

It's not fair

 

[sorlox]

If only everyone knew that truth. Blaming person for something they're incapable to avoid/fix is terrible, and yet, very common thing

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

This doesn't comfort me at all. If anything it just means life is stupid and not worth living through at all if all the effort in the world can still lead to failure.
