Aside from the obvious damage this would cause any child, part of me loves the idea of celebrating last place. Someone has to come last, and it's not always a negative thing.
I love the fact that I have a single friend, because there's been many a time I've had none
Maybe I appreciate these things more than someone who's always had lots of friends and was naturally good at playing the piano?
I was sat in the local park recently, just 10 minutes on a bench looking at the trees and flowers and I thought "I'm so lucky that this is just 5 minutes from my house". I'm in my 50s now but I used to go there as a kid on my bike and it's always been part of my life, I didn't have fun sitting there, but for the first time in my life I really appreciated it and that meant a lot to me. The problem is you can't make yourself appreciate things, I could say to myself "I'm so lucky to live close to this park" but that means nothing, and then one day you just realise it.
