Richard Cory is a representative of extraordinariness in a society. All of his traits are honorable and noble, he is a good man, kind and caring. Also he is down to earth, not a snob with his wealth. He is morally, economically and physically ideal man.
We have this kind of people in our society too. We also admire them, appreciate them and talk about them like idols. However, maybe the evilness in all of us, wants these good and successful people to fail, maybe just to see them as human, like us. It may be simply jealousy, for we know we cannot achieve some of these people's qualities. But I think the main reason is mediocracy.
Every person wants to be the lead figure in the society, whatever his traits and qualities are, he just wants to be on top. Almost everytime, the leader of a society tends to be just a regular but influential man. While this man does not want others to overthrow him, he simply thinks, “if all the people will be like me, I may be the one to lead them” and that makes the society mediocre in generations.
The real unique and valuable people are labeled as narcissist or arrogant. Every quality seems like a tool of their boasting speeches.
Thus these people left alone, abandoned in a mediocre society, with their goodness and their royal hearts broken.
