Transcript:
Pig: What are you doing Rat? Rat: I'm sitting in the 'Box O' People Who Enjoy Success.' Pig: What's that? Rat: What's it look like? It's a box for people who enjoy success. Pig: What's that? Rat: What's it look like? It's a box for people who enjoy success. Pig: Gee I'd like to get in. But it looks pretty packed. Rat: Of course it's packed. Everyone loves success. Pig: So why don't they just get into the empty box next to it? Rat: Because it's different. Pig: Yaay for you guys.

Tomorrow we will look at the schadenfreude box.I hear that it’s a big one.

Pig has it right. With all the success stories around us, why shouldn’t we enjoy it?
BugsyQ about 10 years ago
C’mon Steph – You can do better than that. Although I suppose you’re allowed a dud once in a while.

Rat has success, but it isn’t what society, his friends, his neighbours, his family call success. His psychiatrist maybe.

What about the box for people who work their fingers to the bone with little compensation so that others can have all the success?

Notice that it just says they enjoy success, not that they have success.
