The different ways in which man competes with another! Examples abound, of this competitive spirit. Some of these are-
My car is bigger, more luxurious, more expensive than yours.
My house is bigger, better located than yours.
My wife is better-looking than yours.
My shirt/trousers were made in a better country (Italy/France) than yours (India/Bangladesh).
My guru writes/teaches yoga/discourses better than yours.
Kids' version of the same spirit- "My daddy strongest."
Maybe these days, it would extend into territories like 'My hospital is better than yours.' Or, 'my bypass surgery took longer than yours.'

The title is just so apt at the moment. The best example.
Yes, last night I had a taste of it- or rather, sound of it- till 1 am.
So did I. And after the sound, the fumes lingered long enough. For emphasis, perhaps.
