Did you know the term “sour grapes” came from the idea that if you couldn’t reach fruit because it was too high, that you’d justify it by telling a lie to yourself to make yourself feel better- “they were probably sour anyway”.
You lost – “Ah, I didn’t want to win that bad anyway.”
You’re not doing good? – “It’s not important to me anyway”.
Somebody else is doing good? – “They probably cheated”.
Sour grapes.
Anybody can pick the low-hanging fruit.
While the high-hanging fruit is harder to reach, it can be the most plump, sweetest reward.
Reach.
