Have you met someone who considers life a race? Who always trying to find out how good someone is at what they do, and compare themselves to the person? Sneakily tries to find out how the person does it and by hook or by crook tries to master their ability? They try to pretend to be your friend, but you'l never know that they are your biggest enemy.
I do agree that competition is essential. There are many races in life one will have to win or loose. But life is not a race, on the contrary a race is part of life. There are so many things that life has to offer other than races and competition. Yes, the victory is satisfying, but whats the fun if you have no one to celebrate with. You spent all your life treating the people around you as competitors, disguising yourself as a friend, and used their trust as a source to better yourself. All these people realized what you are doing and walked out of your life. And finally when you have all the success you have worked for you will have no one to celebrate with. No one who truly cares that is.
I frankly hate these kind of people. I always wonder what that kind of victory will give them anyway. Some sick satisfaction that they are better that the rest of the world? It's good to enjoy when you are the best at what you do, but that rejoicing should not be about how bad others are compared to you. It should be about how your hard work has payed off. It should be guilt free, where you won fare and square and did not use someone the get there. I'm the kind of person who enjoys being around people. We are social beings. We all get lonely sometimes. We all need someone to lean on because things will never go the way we want it to, but if you make use of the people who are willing to lend a shoulder then you are driving them away. That's selfish and moreover, stupid.
Another breed of people I don't like are the lairs. They either lie or twist the truth to their benefit. I'v met people who will dramatize incidences to gain the pity and sympathy of others. They will go to any extent to make someone think they are being tortured. A good friend of mine once said: 'If you are going to lie, do some research before hand.' Someone once lied about having french cuisine, when asked to name the dish, replied 'pasta'. "My mom came to hit me with a baseball bat", we'r in India, nobody here plays baseball. Cricket bat would have been more believable! "I went to Australia and lived right opposite Ross Taylor's house". He's from New Zealand. And this is the worst. "I didn't study at all, I'm going to fail", then get 88 out of 100. Its all so frustrating.
I just hope that these racers and lairs realize what they are doing and stop it. But we all know that's too much to ask for. To us, its just frustration that will come and go. But for these people its their reputation at stake. They need to know that no one will believe anything they say even if they might be saying the truth. Its a price you have to pay for cheating, lies and exaggeration. So don't cheat people, don't lie and don't exaggerate. If people think your life is boring the way it is, let them. Its better that them knowing your life is a Lie !
