It happens that I was thinking about this recently...

"Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend's success." -- Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man under Socialism (1881)

I disagree, or else I expect a lot more out of the average person.

I guess I expect more from any random individual I meet than I do from a de-identified large group (like humanity or something slightly less large). While I read about the latter a lot, I never meet them, so my sample is happily skewed :)
