Were you chosen to keep up with?
Who is your yardstick?
Everyone is racing against someone, trying to keep up with an idol; financially or morally or educationally or socially or physically or any number of other ways.
Keeping up with the Joneses is part of your internal fabric and almost impossible to resist.
