why do people get so jelous of the guy on top
when its there lack of success that helped that guy to where he is
and more importantly why not try harder instead of being a hater
Envy is quality of the weaknes… But it could be used well if you wish so. Man is defined like ‘hunter’ long time ago and if he notice another man, well-living than him, he could start improving his life with positive purpose in a way he could be better like the other man. That’s how he could live better, too, because of the influence from the other man.
“If you wish to make Pythocles wealthy, don’t give him more
money; rather, reduce his desires.” – Epicurus
Specifically, the desire for “success” and being the “best” is a false idol from which one should free oneself.
Well said. Take control of yourself, then you cannot be manipulated by your desires.

This is part of capitalist myth.
Everyone that “makes it to the top” has made it there based on the support of others. The people that make paper, pencils, computers, food, clothes, and all other services that you use have supported even the most individualistic person. It is pure delusion to think otherwise.
So, I say that it is not jealousy that is being observed, but rather anger at the “top man’s†selfishness and lack of acknowledgement.
