Sour Grapes

I think we all know someone like this - someone who likes you to get along in life...as long as you don't become more successful than they are. If you do, then watch out, because this person will do anything they can to bring you down, even resorting to bare-faced lies.
Why are some people like that? Life is hard enough as it is; why should we wish other people harm?
My sister-in-law is one of these people. I always used to like her, but my mom always used to tell me, "Watch out for her - she's a nasty piece of work."
I took this with a pinch of salt; but then I made the fatal mistake of becoming successful, so she lay in wait until the chance came along for her to bring me down, and God did she do so, resorting to absurd lies to try to destroy my life. How sick is that? It wouldn't be so bad if I had ever done anything to her, but I've always protected my family, and even sorted a problem out for her and my brother when they were conned by a double-glazing salesman.
I guess some people are just born evil and live their lives that way.
