One fine summer day I'm driving through town with is about 6 miles from edge to center with lights every city sized block. It's about 3:30/4:00 with heavy traffic in both west bound lanes. As I'm waiting at the 1st light on the edg3 of town this guy in his early 40s zips up beside me in an early 70s Stingray Vette. He races of when the light goes green. Now this is the part where I should mention there were no pads left on my front disc brakes. I was metal to metal and had to down shift and use the ebrake for each stop to slow that land yacht. So naturally I didn't accelerate fast in those conditions. At the next light I pulled up and stopped beside him. This continued light after light all the way to downtown.
The long and short of is this. 6 miles later, at the light in the center of town I pulled up right to the left of him. As I've said it was amfine day and his Stingray was a convertible wi5h the top down. As I came to a complete stop I looked at him smiled as I said, "Nice ride man"! He smiled back and said, "Thanks man". To which I replied, "One thing I noticed about though". He said with a look of concern, "Oh, what's that"? "It didn't get downtown any quicker than this piece of crap I'm driving", I replied.
At that point he realized a young 20s something kid had just been driving smarter than him for the last six miles. "You know what kid? Your right" he said as he slowly pulled away from the light as it turned green.
good people of NIS, what actually happened is the stingray pulled out impatiently and left him for dust, the driver looking smug and feeling superior in every way, and that was that.
over the years, sparker has daydreamed his cope to the wholesome pile of shit written above. -

A minor example would be student loan forgiveness. Of course it's understandably frustrating to have worked for perhaps years and years to pay off ones loans only to see others literally not having to do all that same amount of work.
At the same time, if that forgiveness had been offered to them, it's probably unlikely that they would've declined the offer and chose to pay off their loans the old-fashioned way.
Its just one of those 'it is what it is' situations. The frustration is understandable but it's also more or less pointless I guess, unless the goal is to undo the loan forgiveness and ensure everyone ever has to always work off their loans by hand.
That's just an example though. I think we all want to feel "better than" others in a way, as opposed to feeling "less than" others..I mean that's human nature.. so we don't like those we feel better than, to be happy, especially when we feel they didn't earn it or deserve that happiness.
yeah man, heard. fundamentally speaking i see what youre saying and a lot of people like tooting their own horn too, bigly. like I KNOW THE BEST WAY IF YOU DONT DO WHAT I DO THEN YOU. ARE. STUPID.!!!!!!!!!! anyone who isnt me literally is a retard.
