"It sucks to suck", it's a kind of ironic statement, but it's not wrong. It's a simple yet very accurate sentence to describe what being human is like. One doesn't need a degree in psychology to grasp the concept that being good at something is favorable over being bad at it. I think anyone who is human has experienced being not so great at something. It's obvious why people are like that. It would be boring if everyone was good at everything. Nothing would be special without someone there to be terrible at something. The whole "I'm so bad I make them look good" mantra is true too. Believe me, I have plenty of experiences on both ends of the "it sucks to suck" cycle. Some people will always be better at something than I will and there will always be something I'm "better" at.
I do have an understanding for those people who are on the business end of the "it sucks to suck cycle". There's probably something that everyones good at that they haven't found the right opportunity to put it to use. My mom learned to crochet with a bent highlighter ( and she was actually pretty good at it ) she had just never needed to crochet plastic bags on the couch while watching re-runs of sob story movies until then. Obviously it would be great if everyone was great at what they aspired to be. "It sucks to suck" is an annoying yet necessary part of life, and everyone will make it to the top of the cycle one day it just takes patience.
