One realisation. Dont generalise based on some personal experiences. Though generalisation helps you to organise your thoughts and make them more usable, it can have several severe counter effects like, making your mind closed to a bigger picture of things.
Treat any of the not-so-comfortable events case by case and then decide!
This was part of a talk with a friend at the company. Made really good sense!

Should my success get a higher weight when its compared against someone else's failure (or seeming failure) ? Should I thus feel more happy ? Or would that mean I am celebrating someone else's failure ?

Strategy to attack intellectual snobbery ?

Generalization of any event in life and extrapolation of that event to span similar events is recipe for chain failures. Life events are best handled if we treat each of them like disjoint sets

Many times we think generalisation helps. But not in life which is nt a quite smooth curve
well said!! and well written :)
