It's interesting how this essay explains an aspect of the human condition we can all relate with. For music lovers it's a case of 'i put you on this artist, now you think you know his music more than me". It's same for people who even introduce people to other people.
As I've grown older I've come to realise that we must query these aspects of our life that we probably saw as "evil" or "bad", because deep down we all want to be loved and happy. We suppress our desire for these things and I think they come out in other forms.
We underestimate how much we want to be happy and loved. And because we want it so badly, we dislike other people who seem to be achieving it (figured it out) while we're struggling.

Exactly!
