Would it ever bother you if someone you didn't like, or someone that made your life a living hell for a certain time, ended up becoming more successful than you in all things? Whether it be having a better job, a better family, better environment, practically having a better life than you.
 
No way could somebody be better than you at ALL things lol. And no it really wouldn't bother me at all; cuz that man/woman is gonna have to deal with HEYZEUS when they die :o
 
Na it wouldn't bother me. But I suppose I wouldn't allow my enemy to have a better life than me anyway. MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 
Not really. I try to concern myself with my own sh** rather than people's I don't even like.
 
The only reason it would bother me is if i allowed myself to become that petty in the first place.

Wishing someone you don't like to be worse off than you is quite clearly a dumb and stupid waste of time.
 
Well, I think you should care about it to an extent. If it helps you improve and better yourself. To strive to be as good as you can, it's a good thing.

But you don't wanna be bogged down in that line of thought where you feel sorry for yourself or whatever.
 
It would upset me if the people I hated in high school ended up doing better than me because I've got a Master's and those people were pretty much stoned or alcoholic idiots.

Call me immature, but I get pleasure from knowing my arrogant ex-cheerleader childhood neighbor is a junior college dropout with a baby minus the daddy and still lives at home.
 
Yeah, a lot of my enemies were enemies because of certain personality traits that would pretty much stop them from reaching success, unless they change their ways. And if they did change and got successful, then I would be happy for them.
 
^^^ I love that you have that R in your name... my keyboard doesn't have that:csad:

I just copied and pasted the ® from the bottom of the forum page, in the copyright information.

Yes it would. I would become jealous and hateful. I'd probably also stew over it for a long time too. I'm good at holding g®udges.
 
Everyone around me, either friends or enemies are always going to be more successful than I.
 
Me and one other person got selected for a promotion at the same time. He is now a VP and this makes me angry.
 
Back on topic, I don't subscribe to the "it is not enough that I succeed, all else must fail".


I've learned recently it's not healthy to judge the quality of your life by the achievements of others.

Have your goals, strive for them and be thankful for what you have. Comparison will just drive you crazy because you have no control over it.
 
It would bother me until I found something good on TV. Or the linoleum.
 
A dude I was in a show with spent the entire season's worth of shows treating us terribly. He talked to us all as if he knew everything about everything, and we knew nothing. Nothing we had ever learned when it came to acting or stunt work mattered, because the way he "learned" it was right (when in fact he just made up answers to questions or "methods" to doing certain things). Whenever we disagreed with him, he either blew up at us, or told us how we only disagreed just to be difficult with him...

In reality, he was VERY bad at acting and stunt (it took him three weeks to stop being afraid of one stunt and just get it over with, when it took the rest of us minutes), and all of us were able to see the holes in almost every sentence he spoke... At first, we thought we might just be cynical because we didn't like him, but we heard from more and more people OUTSIDE of our show that they thought the same thing.

Turns out, he won the "Best Male Performer" award, and our show in general got shafted for any other awards despite having the highest attendance rating. We were one angry cast.
