We all strive to be the best. Hell, there's nothing wrong with that. I want to be the best person I can be. I truly do. And yet I'm curious. Isn't that what all people want? It can't be just me. TBNE . . . always blows my mind. Actually - let's look at how much deceit, fraud and theft there is. . . that makes it sure, that wanting the best and wanting to be best is best to leave alone. I was mesmerized and doubtful - it proved to be the right instinct. It prepared me for it. (ok, enough EMO time)
The best - what the fuck is that anyway? I know the best person ever. I know of the best person ever to live on this Earth. I even know the best basketball player ever to have lived.
In sports - it's easy - the fastest, jumps the longest, throws the hardest and so - they are the best in the world. Singers too - best singers (ok, I admit - the charts are different for each person). But the favorite - there again . . . "she, in my mind, is the best singer, dancer, performer, lover, player, knitter, skiier, president and so on"
It's all relative - best to whom? best for whom? best from whom? All these are bullshit. I have the best computer - nonsense; i have the best girlfriend - maybe for you; i have the best player on my team - in your mind, yes . . . I could go on whole day. The thing is - there is nothing wrong with wanting to be the best - that's a good thing to hurtle towards (so as long as you are not hurting anyone on the way). But wanting the best gets you always very badly hurt.
Whatever it is it never is the best!
