We are so great in supporting the underdog. As soon as the underdog gets ahead, we switch and are busily looking for reasons to tear them down again.
My motto has always been: “Do not rain on anybodies parade.”
Soon after their success (that we readily celebrated) we are starting to look for reasons how to cut them back down to size.
Apparently , no one is spared.
Why do you think that is?

I'm not really able to comment. Let me tell you a story, instead.
ReplyDelete"Is your hatred against the defenseless so powerful that you have to kill so many of us?" the Jewish office assistant asked the concentration camp commandant after a painful day.
"No, this is something you do not understand.I myself do not give a damn for the race, the origin or the whereabouts of those I execute. I want to show you that you are nothing, you are scum and I am the one who is able to decide whether you live or die", was the answer.
Years later, the concentration camp commandant, after having been sentenced to life imprisonment, said to his judge: "I can accept that I am in the weaker position and that you are taking revenge now."
"This is a big misunderstanding", the judge said. "This is not revenge. I just want to prevent you from doing further harm to your own soul."
