I found this word, phrase, or whatever you call funny and meaningful. So I guess I will share it here. This word/phrase is new to me - but if it’s not to you, just ignore me. On Wikipedia and Wiktionary, they defined this word/phrase as:

Crab mentality describes a way of thinking best described by the phrase “if I can’t have it, neither can you.” The metaphor refers to a pot of crabs in which one tries to escape over the side, but is relent lessly pulled down by the others in the pot.

Might try to make use of this word/phrase in my essay in future. I don’t realize that crabs are like that. What if other creatures are like that too? When someone is fishing, and he caught a fish - the fish will try to pull other fish up too, and the other fish will pull another. “If I’m to die, you guys must die with me too”, say the fish. So the fisherman will get loads of fish..Hahaha.. Ahem! Done.
