What's wrong with being number TWO? people compete for everything but in the end, what do they get? satisfaction? NO! happiness? NO! after they succeed, they will ask for more. this endless pursuit of physical substances is like a vicious cycle, no one will benefit from it. 因为这种名利上的追逐,人们反目成仇,义气、道德、人意都撇在一边。这算什么?!
