Compare and Contrast

There's always a winner and loser in every compeititive event. Be in sports, gaming or even aesththics, there has to be a loser to have a winner and vice versa.

Now most people look for the best and of course recognize it, they feel that oh this is the best, i must have the best, whatever is not the 'best', i should ignore because it is not for me. I only want the best.

So they fame the winner and shun the loser. What i'm trying to state is not what effects winning and losing has on people like you and me.

Have you ever envied the person who always scores better grades than you? How you wish it was you that receive all the attention of your classmates? Even if that one person has not done anything wrong or has been mentally spiteful towards you, you still manage to come up with a few 'suitable' phrases or nicknames of your own to call and label him.

Ever been in a similiar situation? That's what i think is not nescessary in life. To compare and contrast. One will only feel prideful or deeply hurt when they choose to compare themselves to others. I'm not promoting individuality. But if you think about, is there a need to tarnish their pride when you couldn't achieve the same?
Is there a need to moan and complain when you know you could perform as well as them but didn't do the same?
Or is there EVEN a need to say something that encourages remorse in one's abilityies even if they have or have not done the same to you?

I say trash that. There is seriously no need for such bullshit.

And thus you will find it acceptable that one should parade their achievements once in a while for it is something they have strived hard to acheive.
To be a better person, you don't find yourself saying all the wrong things and sparking off petty arguments over who is right or wrong.

In a way, i disreagard all who wish to compare me to someone else, i disregard all thoughts of being more 'powerful', 'better', 'lazier', 'vulgar' etc. than others. As long as my achievements are recognised, i feel no need to be compared to someone else who is thought to be of a lower calibre than i am.

There's just no need to.
