... and then we compete with them...
We don't compare ourselves with people much better or much worse off than us. Their success or failure doesn't bother us...
But if our equals get a promotion before us, or a job offer with slightly more money.. they buy a slightly nicer car.. or buy their house 2 years before us.. that bothers us...
We try and look for reasons why our lives are better than theirs.. explanations why our achievements are more fulfilling than theirs..
There's a hint of a guilty pleasure whenever things don't work out for them exactly as planned...
We do that.. don't we...
YOU do that.. don't you ?!
Well.. I don't want to be your equal.. It doesn't matter if I'm better or worse than you... I just don't want to be YOUR competition !
