Every mortal life on this earth has-been and will-be a failure, whatever you do.
Of course!
This has been known since ancient days by whoever is most thoughtful and honest. So we should acknowledge this from the beginning!
And then...?
And then solve the problem - don't merely "cope" with it by some combination of ignorance, wishful-thinking, gullibility, and projection - tactics that are so, so common (on-line as well as IRL).
Ignorance and wishful thinking combined are what make many people (perhaps especially young people) believe that some person, somewhere, is living (or once lived) a life that Is A Success.
Well, if you don't know enough about other people, gullibly assimilate whatever illusions you are told, or desperately need there to be examples of life-success - then you can make yourself believe anything is real and true - or at least possible.
(And yes - "I was that soldier!")
Furthermore, there are plenty of people whose way of coping with their own inevitable failure is to try and convince other people of their own successfulness...
By variously dishonest and distorted forms of direct and indirect boasting/ hyping - whether by spoken word, verbally, by image, through publicity, propaganda &c.
And then there is projection of one's own failure onto others. I mean that whole tedious discourse of pointing and naming "losers" and "retards" etc. - as if it any kind of answer existential failure, to convince oneself (or persuade others) that Somebody-Else is an even bigger failure that you-yourself certainly are...
Okay - we're all prone to one or other such lapses; but the way-out from such futility and sin is to recognize that your mortal life is genuinely justified only in terms of eternity; not justified over the next few hours, years, or decades.
And the justification of your life will be different from that of anybody else alive or who ever lived; because your environment, nature and experiences are utterly unique; hence your life-tasks or quest must be unique.
The Answer is therefore to frame the problem from the perspective of your own unique situation in the context of everlasting life to come.
That's the only basis for a valid and effective "answer" to your own (otherwise inevitable) failure.
