Where in the heck did the saying, "Guys guys finish last" come from? Its most vulgar and malicious saying I have ever heard short of cursing. Why is that he has to lose? He is the good guy. He is portrayed as a model for others, yet he has to lose? How does that make any sense? Is it because the other guy, obviously the "Bad Guy", cheated and got a head start. Or maybe people just naturally need to lower others to elevate themselves. That is a bleak look on humanity, but perhaps is more accurate than some care to acknowledge.
Maybe it is our own insecurities that cause the colder half of our Psyche to emerge. The Good Guy represents an unattainable goal for some. And the sheer magnitude of the the task required to reach his hypothetical level of social status is extremely daunting. Even so, society should shoot higher and miss every once in awhile instead of lowering the bar to make sure everyone can reach it. Because eventually the bar will break.
