A teacher once told the class about rat race; a competition which we get ourselves involved with or without realizing it, to take a step forward and to upgrade our lives if possible. Like many others, we tend to compare ourselves with the rest of the world, especially when we are in a very competitive competition, where the more is no longer the merrier. Be they the rivals or the enemies, we keep an eye on them, especially on their progress; after all, it does us well if we get hold of the opponents’ strengths and weaknesses, doesn’t it? Perhaps this is one of those tiny little secrets which we would never share, that we tend to be jealous and envious when the rivals are way better than we are and that there are times where we hope the opponents would fall and so we will stand a chance to surpass them. Do we or do we not feel it that way sometimes? This is not a question seeking for an answer, but a question questioning us and the answer to the question shall be kept to ourselves.
