Failure's relative. i've always felt, even early on, if i lose the freedom to fail, something's not right about that. it's how you treat failure, too. there's something to learn from it. i've had movies that have failed colossally, so you kind of analyze your failures: what kind of failure was it? a failure because it's misunderstood by others? a failure because you misunderstood it yourself?
Misunderstood Kind Failing
Abortion on demand is the ultimate state tyranny; the state simply declares that certain classes of human beings are not persons, and therefore not entitled to the protection of the law. the state protects the 'right' of some people to kill others, just as the courts protected the 'property rights' of slave masters in their slaves. moreover, by this method the state achieves a goal common to all totalitarian regimes: it sets us against each other, so that our energies are spent in the struggle between state-created classes, rather than in freeing all individuals from the state.

Willpower should be understood to be the strength of the mind, which makes it capable of meeting success or failure with equanimity. it is not synonymous with certain success. why should one's attempts always be attended by success? success breeds arrogance and man's spiritual progress is thus arrested. failure, on the other hand, is beneficial, inasmuch as it opens his eyes to his limitations and prepares him to surrender himself. self surrender is synonymous with eternal happiness.

We only gain collectively by acting now. we gain by one day not having to pay a thing for fuel. we gain by having cleaner air, water, and food so that we are healthier and our health care costs come down. we gain by deflating the global fossil fuel markets that drive much of the conflict around the world.

Shampoo doesn’t have to foam, but we add foaming chemicals because people expect it each time they wash their hair. same thing with laundry detergent. and toothpaste—now every company adds sodium laureth sulfate to make toothpaste foam more. there’s no cleaning benefit, but people feel better when there’s a bunch of suds around their mouth. once the customer starts expecting that foam, the habit starts growing.
