Is Failure Necessary? If So...Why?

We are born in a world where people see failure as a necessary key to success... I wonder... do you see it that way... Or do you think Perfection is the key that unlocks the doors of success......?!!!
  • Is Failure Necessary?
    I honestly think that we should allow ourselves a certain amount goals in our quest on achieving greatness... I beileve that we as humans are doomed to the sin of imperfection... I don't think God intended for us to be perfect but I think he intended for us to try and see past obstcles of sin in this demon possesed planet... I think we have to fail, Because somehow that is the only way our beain knows to compare, "The right way...Or The Wrong Way"... I just think we nee to see failure more as a good thing, that way people like me wouldn't get it so often!!!

  • How could you know perfection if you don't fail at least once?
    Failing is a human behavior that makes us progress in life. Through trial and error you make development and you achieve a state of perfection. You can't know the real consequences of something unless you tried it for yourself. You unlock the key to your success by repeating and repeating until you get it, being aware of what you've made wrong and what doesn't work, you truly understand the process and that way you make sure that the thing you do is the best one.
    What does apply for one individual, doesn't necessary apply for another, so you must know your own keys to success, and you must be able to use them to unlock the doors to knowledge and experience in the correct order. That means you have to try (and fail) in order to achieve the effect you want.
    So, failing is somewhat the key to success, but only if you accept the failure and understand something from it, otherwise, it's just an obstacle that you can't pass through.

  • Very important
    without faliure how would we progress as people?
    if everything you do is right, then you become stagnat as an individual, and as with all stagnat things, you start to smell funny...

    all humor aside, without faliure victory would not hold it's meaning, and the world would be so boring that i would have to very successfully kill myself out of bordom...

  • Not an option
    I myself do not think failure is necessary and one would surly live a happier life without it. Discomfortingly as it may be "to fail is not an option" and neither is breathing. Of course there are 1,000 clichés which make an effort to comfort you through these failures. This reminds me another fact of life which is not an option. "PAIN" Pain is the bodys way of telling your brain there is a problem, but go to a cliché festival and you will find that pain builds good character.Thats one I find hard to swallow.

  • Well
    It's not NECESSARY, no. If you happen to get every single attempt at everything right the first time, every time, then that's it. You didn't need to fail. But failure is inevitable throughout life. Overcoming failure. That's necessary.
