...and want them to fail?
For example, "Someone I know just became a judicial intern at the SC of TX, and I want her to fail."

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

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.

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.

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.
