It is part of the human nature to seek out what is best for him/herself. Everyone wants what is best for them, wanting to be at the top spot all the time. Life itself is a competition, with people struggling to win everyday.
The issue is that a few persons take competitions over the board and more than usual, they can do just about anything to get what they want. The first thing that comes to mind is the issue of politics. The politicians go through a lot of stress and work to ensure victory during elections. I realized this during my time in college, a simple student union election turned awry and everyone was on the run. Hooligans threatening lives and properties because their candidate had a few votes behind. Yes, people can go through all length to get what they want. The simple, cool man that talks calmly when campaigning, might not be the same man when he loses an election. He would do everything in his power to get elected. The taste of victory is profound and everyone wants a taste of it, so i ask you, how far can you go to get elected?
