Even in religion people compete and hope for their "oponents" to suffer.
Why do humans have this need to be better than others?

I do not think that this phenomenon may be called competitiveness in countries where resources are relatively sufficient. It is a lack of culture, I think. If to remember that people pretend to be not only biological, but also social beings.
Some people do not act so saying that they will not eat 5 dinners during one day anyway and they consider more spiritual meaning of their actions.

It is a projection of their own insecurities. If someone feels less than others all the time then when they get the chance to be or feel like they are better than someone they take it.

I agree with most posts here, nature of our human ways, and any animal, is to make sure you come out on top. And as for the suffering part, its basically to make sure you are on top, and stay on top.
