Charles Handy thought for the day on the meaning of life, death, and failure. He begins the article discussing the life of Degas and how, at 60, Degas turned his back on life because he felt himself a failure. Handy proceeds to talk about how he himself has wondered about the meaning of his life, and whether Jesus Christ must have also felt himself to be a failure in his lifetime. He ultimately concludes that it is not for people to judge their own lives, but only for posterity to do so.
