..and that's why we never get anywhere...
we keep on thinking..IT'S SO UNFAIR, and harp on it.
Fact is, there's nothing you can do about it, so you level the playing field yourself - find ways that does not demean anyone else. Do it right.
Otherwise, it'll always be about whining and taking other people down. Can anyone say...crab mentality? Even if they so effing deserve it, it's still a disappointing thing to realize that you're willing to go down a few notches to knock out someone else.
And that's not what it's about. in the end, it's about transcending such things, and making yourself as good as you can be, as truthful to yourself as you can be. Forget envy and pride. Concentrate on really giving something to others other than anger and bitterness.
