Scenario

When couples compete over personal growth and moral development

My partner and I are both trying to be better people but we've gotten competitive about it in this weird way where we each think we're working harder on ourselves and the other person isn't growing as much. Our attempts at moral improvement have become another source of judgment between us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Individual efforts at moral development are being corrupted by comparison and competition, creating judgment rather than mutual support for ethical growth.
