Of Success and Failure

Success and Failure are relative terms, a negotiation of an internal mind with an external reality. It would seem that because of their relative nature, they are meaningless, but are they? If by one set of standards you could be considered a success, say from those that would like to be in a similar position, and from another perspective a failure as from those that pity or loathe the same condition, does that make you any less a success or failure? In other words, does it help the man in the pan that the man in the fire envies him?

Can success and failure even exist without an external judgment?
