Never try to pull others down. If possible, always try to help them in their situations. At every point in life, you have two options — love and fear. Choose love, not fear:
vrajaty adhaḥ prayāty uccair
naraḥ svair eva ceṣṭitaiḥ
adhaḥ kūpasya khanaka
ūrdhvaṁ prāsāda-kārakaḥ
Translation: One slides down or rises high in life due to one's own deeds, just like the person who digs a well keeps going down whereas the one who constructs a house keeps rising up progressively.
— (Subhāṣita-ratna-bhāṇḍāgāra, Sāmānya-nītiḥ, Verse 62, Page 154)
