Now imagine having a whole room of people saying, in effect, "I'm great and you're not." Or, "I'm going to find some way to compete with you and come out on top as a result of that." A whole group of people communicating that way, talking that way.
Теперь представьте каково это, когда вместе собрались люди, фактически говорящие друг другу: "Я в порядке, а ты нет".
