Crab Mentality?

Well, as i have nothing to do, i remember this one situation. I do not know if my judgment is correct or not. However, it seemed to be that i am right somehow. I can remember that, it was the year 2009 when i asked for help from someone in the circle of our family. Actually it was just an assistance which i am going to pay after 3 months. I was not here in the Philippines when i asked for that helped. I called someone and asked for helped, and it was fine and everything went smooth, and that someone told me that i just need to call that someone as well for the final decision. That someone, since i do not like giving names when it comes to a very sensitive issue, especially if it involves your relative. So, that someone, i think did not make an approval out of it, because it was told from that someone again, which was the original person that has the capacity to help me, given a wrong information that i do not have enough experience for the field where i am exposed to. That wrong information lead me to failure to have an assistance.

It is sad to know that in the circle of your family, there is what we call crab mentality from our relative. I know that some of our relative can not handle our veer to success. Well, why is that some of the people could not be like me, where i hate pulling down people and i am trying to be humble as i can, although i am tactless sometimes, which is a little way better than pulling down your relative from being success. Here in the Philippines, if your relative is richer than you are and when times come, you become much more successful than them, there will always be a chance that you will be cheated by your own blood. Which, i find it inhumane and very unproductive. Why is that, some other people are happy for your success, while others not.

Maybe, that is how some people are molded by their mentors.
