Modern society seems to be based on competition. Everybody is encouraged to always try to be “better” than others: prettier, fitter, richer, smarter… But this creates problems because it is simply impossible to “always” be better than others. Ask yourself: Why is it so important to be “more” than another? Why this need to live in a perpetual confrontation? Why aren’t people happy with what they are, with what they can be “for their own sake”? Far too many are the solicitations you receive from the outside world which try to convince you to think, say and do what fashion, the papers, advertisements etc. instigate you to accept and, worse of all, believe in. And so you endeavor to reach a whatsoever supremacy not following your own ideals but simply to show that you can excel over the mass! But… can you really? And… what for?
