I don’t get why some people want to work against you. I mean they spend their energy and time on working against you, hoping you fail, sabotaging you. I don’t understand. It seems to me that if they took that time and energy and applied it they could do great things. Not to mention great things together.

Unfortunately, I have encountered this several times in my life and something I just saw in a file brought back a memory of an unpleasant experience I had with someone who I thought was assisting me in the direction we wanted to go. But, they were sabotaging me by, not returning calls to large companies or news medias interested in a story. I found out only after I picked up the phone to make the calls myself and after others told me (which BTW.. why do other people don’t tell you until way later?)

...... I just don’t get it. It seems like such a waste of life to work against someone else.

Anybody else have this type of experience?
