The thing about men being competitive with each other, that's a huge problem.
Not enjoying your friend's success, not wanting them to succeed, secretly wanting them to fail.
You will never live a happy life if you're secretly wanting people to fail.
You will never live a happy life if you want to seek joy in other people's failure.
You will never live a happy life.
The way is if someone is doing really well and you feel jealousy, what is that?
That you're comparing yourself to them.
Well, you have two choices.
You can either be bitter and upset and negative, which does you no good, or you can be inspired.
So their success can be fuel that makes you work harder.
And actually, you should thank them for that.
You should even thank people you don't like if you find their success to make you feel uncomfortable.
Like, oh, fuck that dude.
