Winners and losers
It is good to be the first. In any competition. There are two ways, to become number one.

First option:
You get in front of everybody. Make yourself better.

Second option:
You stay where you are and get everybody behind you. Make others worse.

First option is better, second is easier. People like things easy. Probalby that's why sometimes they chose the second. Hereto that explains, why the life of our society is becoming so empty and pointless. Indeed, people start to lack a need for a point as such. Being closer to the point then everyone else seems to be enough. Reaching it is not necessary. Pathetic.
