Just because my child failed a quiz doesn't mean I am not proud of him scoring a goal in soccer. And me being proud of his goal doesn't mean I am belittling the players who didn't score. I think your bitterness is misplaced.

You're absolutely right.. If we'd only look at the negative things that what happend where's the fun in that? Just the thought is depressing try to see the good things xD There are plenty of them ! Those are the things we should be proud of.. I know the bad things shouldn't be forgotten or ignored ( those are horrible enough) but people should all focus on making things better and not worse..
