The casino may be a zero-sum game, where the money lost is earned by others; but others' misfortune is not your luck, this is not a zero-sum game, and what others lose will not become what you gain. So when you mock and ridicule those unfortunate people, in reality, you don't gain anything tangible, and others' misfortune may be your future.
For example, a woman forces a pregnant person to resign, young people under the company's inducement think that people over 35 can leave the company, leaders constantly push subordinates to work overtime to demonstrate their power; and then everything has a role reversal, one day, the woman will also get pregnant,
one day the young person will also grow old, one day you will also encounter a bigger boss, that's all.
So Peter Thiel said a very cool thing, saying "Competition is for losers." Of course, the words of the elites are somewhat elitist, but they do have some truth. When you use temporary physical advantages, age, and position to compete with others, there will always be a day when others use the advantages you once used against you.
Zero-sum games, it's better to avoid them as much as possible.
When discussing salary adjustments today, I told my classmate that there would be no salary adjustments this year due to the company's situation. She told me that she is quite happy with her current situation, and she said it sincerely. Fortunately, I did not engage in those zero-sum games.
Society is originally a situation where you have me and I have you. For people who don't have many resources, what they should do is cooperate, rather than being used as bullets by others. Because in most cases, it's not even a zero-sum game, what others lose, you don't gain, and you may lose something in the same way later on. In the end, all the things lost slowly end up in the hands of a third party who doesn't even care about you.
