friends?!?! competing???! equal?!?! this shouldn't be put in one sentence! friends!!! shouldn't be competing!! (even if it's one sided) one shouldn't even consider not being equal to their friends, people are equal in general, why put people on pedestal by labeling them as someone higher than you? no one is higher than you, just your higher self, which is still you in the end.
