Bittersweet

Everyday people try to get something, to win, to be the best, well when not the best, at least better than someone else...To run faster, to jump higher, to look better, have more money, more cars, clothes, houses, wives
You know the routine...beat the others, be the champion.
Hey it is even in the fairytales. The handsome and courageous prince beats the dragon, witch, evil king or a really bad troll. And he gets the prize, by usual standards a princess or half of a kindom.
Sometimes it happens that it is neccesary to compete with friends. It makes it even more difficult. They try to congratulate you to your success, sometimes they even try for you to be happy.
But if you really look into their eyes, the look you get will leave sad.
That is why also winning can make you feel bittersweet.
