"But nobody has challenged you, Wei: do you know anybody admirable who
"hates" competition?  Ghandi comes to mind as a stereo-type, living in
rags,
spinning his own cotton threads, a very unhappy wife ..."

Yes, perhaps the stereotype of Ghandi, but not the historical Ghandi.  The
real Ghandi lived surrounded by doting admirers and servants, serving him
specially-prepared meals for the sake of his chronic constipation.  As one
wag observed, "It takes an awful lot of money to keep Ghandi living in
poverty."
