Success is contextual; What is defined as success depends on the person and what he or she wants to do. If someone is digging ditches and doesn't want to, it either means that the job is temporary or he isn't working his brain hard enough.

People basically get what they deserve in the long run.

So much the worse for me that I am strong. Do I want to live? What kind of living will it be when you - oh God! would you like to live with your soul in the grave? [...] I forgive what you have done to me. I love my murderer - but yours! How can I?"

-- Healthcliff (Wuthering Heights)

^^That would be Heathcliff (typo, I just noticed it).

Intriguing and compelling character! He would make for an interesting discussion I think.

>>Heathcliff, the central figure in Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, is a dark antihero, embodying intense passion, vengeful obsession, and gothic intensity. As an adopted, racialized outsider, his transformation from an abused child into a ruthless, manipulative oppressor represents a cycle of trauma, making him a complex figure who is both a victim and a villain.<<

New version of Wuthering Heights to be released soon if anyone is interested.

Margot Robbie plays Catherine, the object of Heathcliff's obsession. And he hers!
