Anyway, I honestly think that success is a human invention, that it is not universal. What is beyond it, though? I don't think I can know, immersed in it as I am. I do agree with those of you who have said that it was created partially because survival was less of an issue, but I have to wonder if "success" has been becoming more and more related to survival as our society ages. After all, life without success is becoming less and less meaningful. More and more people choose to ignore the need for survival in pursuit of success. This is a curious phenomenon.
Again, define success? What you may consider succesful is probably different than what I consider it to be.

Some people consider raising a happy, healthy family successful while others consider obscene amount of monies to be successful. Success is nothing more than a feeling.
