On the HBO series The Sopranos, retired mob boss Uncle Jun says,
“Some people are so far behind in a race that they actually believe
they’re leading.” He was talking about hubris, I think, the
temptation to convince yourself you’re king of the mountain, when
really everybody’s snickering behind your back. What goes hand in

jealousy and paranoia. Commit the unforgivable sin of being cooler,
or smarter, or stronger than me, and I won’t be able to rest until
I’ve cut you down to size.
