To the victor go the spoils. There's nothing wrong with "these people"
-- there's something wrong with everyone else.

In American gridiron, when the ball-carrier is tackled, the fans don't
say "what injustice! why must these big men chase the poor guy with the
ball and knock him down and take his ball?"

That is merely how the game is played. Those who don't play the game as
well, inevitably lose.

This is why it is so critically important to be continuously
self-evaluating, self-improving and progressing forward.
