(left image;Crabs)Recently, I knew that Filipino often use a phrase "crab mentality".In the basket,crabs disturb themselves getting free each other. So this phrase is a metaphor of jealousy or negative reflection and accusation.It is truly accurate expression. This is just like "Prisoner's Dilemma"in game theory too. we can not get maximum merit because of distrust each other.By the way,in German, there is a neat phrase "schadenfreude"too. Japanese say
"Other's misfortune tastes sweet.".How unconcealed expression it is!
