yes, words such as "failure", "success", "happy" "great", as much as they have to do with yourself, are basically relative terms...
relativity has much to do in our every day life
thats why I said, to myself, I would be unhappy that I haven't "made more" than 5 years ago, having 5 years to work on my projects and such, but if you would take the 5th year and compare it by itself to everybody around you, you might still be a "relative success"
