This viewpoint assumes two things. First, a viewpoint where life is a competition makes people unhappy. Secondly, people that have that viewpoint are made unhappy by having people smarter, faster, etc. than them. In my case, those are both incorrect, and I don't think I'm special enough to be the only one that thinks like that.
