i know people who read the title will at first want to disagree with this , I know I would. But then there are the times when I catch myself taking solace in another's shortcomings. At these moments I feel extraordinarily guilty, but none-the-less, for a few moments I reveled in my superiority over another human. Whether it be athletics or a social setting (such as being considered "cool" or even funnier than another).However, as I grow older, I feel more grateful for my amount of fortune rather than superior.
Will mankind ever be able to break away from such an insidious disorder?
Why is there an intial desire to feel more powerful than someone else?

How would we know whether we're making progress without someone or something to compare ourselves with. We almost constantly define ourselves by what we're NOT. rather than what we are.
I don't think we should look at it as insidious. Rather, take advantage of it and progress. Competition is the very driving force of evolution. There is no living thing that doesn't accept that it is the very callousness of natural order (I hate using that term) that makes our species possible.
