When people want to win they will go to desperate extremes. However, anyone that has already won in life has come to the conclusion that there is no game. There is nothing but learning in this life and it is the only thing we take with us to the graveknowledge. If you only understood that concept then your heart wouldnt break so bad. Jealousy or revenge wouldnt be your ambition. Stepping on others to raise yourself up wouldnt be a goal. Competition would be left on the playing field, and your freedom from what other people think about you would light the pathway out of hell.
