Not quite. Or not entirely.

People like that seem perfectly content, even though just about everything that could be wrong with them is wrong with them. They don't try to improve themselves or make up for their weaknesses. They don't try to protect themselves. And yet- it's not as if they're happy all the time, but they seem to do just as well as everyone else. Maybe a little better, but even that isn't a noticeable enough difference to matter.

They make everything seem hopeless, just by existing. Why try, when failure in every possible category has the same overall result as success? It's not that they're useless people. It's that they're people whose very nature makes all other things useless.
