People who succeed by causing others to fail

Perhaps this post is only for those with "Asperger's Syndrome"; although to me, it seems a universal alarm signal.

There apparently actually are people who have an operating principle that they succeed by causing others to fail.

Yes, I know that this seems irrational. But, lots of observation strongly indicates that statement is accurate.

Although it is a symbolic example, note that in some sports, such as football or basketball, part of the requirement of players is to strive mightily to cause the opponent team members to fail in their endeavors. And, assume that they will treat you the same way.

In the real world, there are people who similarly function that way in daily life.

So beware, there are - insane? - people out there who may strive to cause you to fail; and to their limited thinking, that enables them to succeed.

Sorry, but that is the way it seems to be. Abundantly reality-tested. You must strive to cope with such nuts while getting your life tasks done.
