I would say it is more akin to the gunshot going off, and the sprinter bitching and moaning because they still actually have to run the race rather than having a medal awarded to them for simply making it to the starting line.

I agree, but if it is true, it must also be acknowledged. If we are downcast because our dreams and wants have not manifested, we have to start exploring what has manifested instead. We cannot do that if we are resentful towards the outcome. We have to start to accept things to work with them. Working with what we have in front of us is a good idea, imo
