Say you arrive early to be sure to get in for a very popular event.


Do you mostly exult that you are sure to get in or do you feel kind of sorry for the late-comers who surely aren't going to get in to this very popular event?



Then, say, the numerous late-comers who are upset they aren't going to get into this very popular event start a riot and just prevent the event from even happening.


Do you say: "well, they were too upset to accept a 'loss'" or are you upset they just prevented the event from happening?
