Several ways of going down but only one way up

There are several ways to go down but only one way to go up.

Inspired by the Fuji mountain where people wear shoes made of straw as any other shoes which they would wear would get ruined due to the volcanic activity and soot which comes out.
Fuji mountain has only one way of going up and several ways of going down.
This inspired me to write about a very important lesson in life.
Many a times, we do things and delve into activities which are negative. Although we know the circumstances that it might have, on our lives or others' lives we still practice them.
This is due to factors such as greed and jealousy.
We pull others downhill thinking we shall climb few stairs up by doing so. We don't realize when we pull other people down, their weight brings us a few steps down as well.

Think of it, in one way, whenever we pull something, we do have an opposite reaction and we tend to fall backwards. Similarly, when we pull someone down, their weight of goodness and innocence brings us down as well.

The only way up is when we don't bother about what others are doing and we focus on ourselves as individuals competing with whom we were yesterday.
We should think of way of improving ourselves today with respect to who we were yesterday.
That is when, we will actually move up the ladder and we wouldn't require delving any kind of negative activities. It is highly important to know your competition and learn from your mistakes. It is highly important to assess where you are going and how you are doing by understanding why you are not doing well as compared to your fellow competitors. But, it is also important to appreciate your competitors because the lessons which you will learn about how to go up and reach the apex will also come from your competitors.
It is normal human psychology, a person learns more from what interests him. If you appreciate and take interest in your competitors , you will definately learn and grasp more.
