A lot of weight is attached to the terms 'Pass' or 'Fail' in today's society. Has been for a while. But truly it is in the eye of the beholder. Or rather what one makes of the sticker that society attaches to that someone.
There are examples of what one might view as a Pass or Win which may be something else when you look closely. For example history suggests that a Pyrrhic victory is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat. That was during Roman times.
Today you see these battles fought out in divorce dramas, stock market collapses and government bailouts.
But wait. You also see irony in more immediate surroundings.
Example - When someone's heart FAILS they PASS. To some other world I am told.
But on the other hand when someone Passes (Gas) they are considered by Society a Fail (esp when said gas is passed in society).

Koi pass koi fail, kabhi khushi kabhi gham, nothing is permanent, mere dost..hum sab rangmanch ki kathputliyan hain, etc. etc..
