Crab Bucket Law

Fishermen say: one crab will try to escape, but when there are more than two, they won't cover the lid—because they will pull each other back, and no one can get out.
This is the truth at the bottom level. It's not that the poor don't work hard enough, but scarcity distorts human nature. When resources are only enough for one person to survive, cooperation becomes a zero-sum game.
Climb one step up, and it means I have one less opportunity.
The West calls it "crab mentality"—a psychological trap rooted in fear and insecurity. But the problem isn't the crabs, it's the bucket.
The real question to ask is: who designed this bucket? Why are some people naturally outside the bucket?
Don't just stare at the crabs tearing each other apart; look up at the hand pressing down the lid.
