Ever since we were young,we've been asked to compete,to make sure that we're the best at everything,to ensure that we ore always at the top.For most of us,it starts when we're young.We were nottaught how tocome in second,or to be happy that someone else is better than you.
Normally when we end up not winning something or coming in second,we often find fault with the person who is"better"than us.Even if they do truly deserve to win,we would make it a point to find as many faults and reasons as to why that person should hove lost to us instead.I'm sure you'd agree that sometimes we just have to accept that there's someone better than us at some things.
But even now,some of you would probably be stuck at the phrase"to be happy that someone else is better than you".It might not make sense to you at all.How could you be happy when you didn't win?Sure,they might be better than you,but why would you be happy about it?
This is the problem with competition.It shows how self-centered we are.It shows us that in the end we only want ourselves to win and no one else.Many people would deny it,but let's be real,how many of us can truly put our hands to our hearts and say that we are truly happy that the person who was"better than us"ended up winning instead of ourselves?
