I'm by no means a supporter of Nietzschean supremacy of healthy people over those less fortunate, and I would fight to the death for any disabled or sick person to have their rights including but not limited to every single right a healthy person has.
But, there are couple of occasions that I just feel pain as I utter the mandatory "Congratulations" words.
What complicates the matter even more, is knowing, ahead of time, how miserable people will be after you "congratulate them" but have nothing better to say.
Things we learn...

The little kid inside me refuses to acknowledge certain lessons in this life, and just refuses at times believe that this is how the world is. But, some good quality time I spent with a very interesting high ranking official made drove it home for me.
I must have herd these words a million times before, and possibly you have as well. But the number of times doesn't really matter as much as actually listening. Understanding and applying what we hear from others.
There are people that will never like you. EVER! It doesn't matter if you're the best person on the face of the planet. These people will just never like you. The consequence of that is also pretty simple, but it's equally as important, so learn this. Don't try to please everyone for you will most certainly fail. Don't waste your time trying. It will just not happen.
Born to be ungrateful!

You know, some people are just ungrateful by nature. Seriously, they think everything that comes their way is a birth right. Or worse, that people are obligated to help and serve them
I sure hope I don't end up like one of those...
I'm so worried about that, for some reason, I'm in constant fear that I didn't thank someone who did something nice to me. So if I ever forget to say thanks, please accept my apology and gratitude!
Wake up!

You should never accept or believe that people will underachieve just because they're poor
You should never treat people differently, or have pity on them because of where they live.
You should never think that someone is "lesser" because they're less educated or they were raised differently
Most importantly, if you have tendencies to think in this way, DON'T ADMIT IT.
Don't be rude!

Lesson of the day, Rude, doesn't get you anywhere!
Only people who's job is actually in customer service are the ones who would take your crap and try to calm you down to "win" your satisfaction!
... Oh and your mother!
But no one else is going to take your crap.
