I remember in the Bible where it read "harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts" or something. James 3:14

Wondering the same thing.

This isn't controversial at all. Of course you want people to fail. I'm desperately routing against Lebron in the finals right now.

Edit: I should add, it shouldn't be solely because someone out successes you that you route against them but you might have other reasons relating to their terribleness as a person that cause you to route against them or at least take satisfaction in their failures.

I'm so TTT. Thanks for the new word and some insight into my self-worth. I wasn't even expecting that much.

But if the person sucks, fair game.

[Holly Golightly]

There are definitely people who are terrible enough that I want them to fail. But an internship doesn't exactly inspire that feeling in me.

Lol this is not real.

[Elston Gunn]

Yeah, I def wished ill upon my classmates for their extremely prestigious 1L summer jobs.

No matter what, there will always be someone doing better than you. If you let that shit get under your skin, life is going to be very, very hard.

Learn to put the blinders on and just do you.

Not if you're Mike Trout.

The silly masses will still fail to appreciate your greatness, however.

It's threads like these that make me hate (fellow [future]) lawyers. Jesus. Live your own Goddam life.
