This is a passage of contemporary Iranian prose that critiques a destructive cultural pattern. The author argues that many Iranians are incapable of competing with themselves and take pleasure only in others' defeat rather than their own success. He contends that Iranians misunderstand profit, seeking not genuine gain but the destruction of enemies, which has trapped the nation in perpetual, pointless conflict where everyone loses. He questions why no one attempts to succeed without requiring another's failure, and suggests that wellbeing is not a finite resource to be seized from others. The passage concludes with a dismissive voice urging acceptance of scarcity and indifference to others' circumstances.
