Have you noticed that many people now, whether making money, doing things, or viewing the world, have fallen into the same kind of thinking trap — zero-sum game.
I always feel that the world is just a fixed-size cake. If you have a little more, I have a little less; if you succeed, I fail; if you make money, it means I lose.
So everyone is scrambling, competing, and calculating.
Making money relies on information asymmetry, on cutting leeks, on shearing sheep;
Cooperation has turned into mutual exploitation, and connections have become a trade-off of interests;
Seeing others improve is not a blessing but jealousy and anxiety.
