That's just our hardwiring as social animals
I don't understand the word 'just' in this statement. Of course it's part of our existence as a social animal.

Well I guess when I read a statement like yours I automatically (and incorrectly it seems) assume that the behaviour is being ascribed to jealousy, envy, anger, etc: that it's on a personal level and there's a larger degree of volition than I suspect there really is.
