Here I am beginning to talk about success when I myself have yet to define what that actually means.

I wonder sometimes if I am really interested in other people successes genuinely or if i'm just interested in the point during which their success fails, and I somehow feel like i'm okay because in some sort of way we are both failures. I wonder if there ever is an even playing ground. Are there people out there that don't compete with each other, even subconsciously? Are there relationships that don't feel competitive in nature be in no matter what sort of way that competition may manifest itself? Am I just creating this competition in my head because I myself don't feel adequate, don't feel whole? What really is the root of genuine interaction?
