Question: Why do we hate another's success!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Not everyone hates another's success!.!.!. when it does occur, though, I think it's just a reminder to that person that s/he hasn't achieved his/her own goals or followed through with plans s/he previously laid out!. Because our culture (I'm assuming by your question that you're United Statesean) is individualistic, other people's successes make others feel like they're losers!.!.!. and who likes to feel like a loser!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is my belief that we perceive something as a thought, that may be a "wrong" thought and it makes us scared!.

Instead of loving that other person's success and "attracting" the same to your self, when you fear it, it becomes anger, made manifest from your thought of FEAR!

love -is to fear as hot is to cold!.!.!.

Like attracts Like!. It's just a Natural Law!. When you love stuff you attract more of it to your self!.!.!.!. or visa versa! Www@QuestionHome@Com
