vainglory

is a contest whose winner is prouder of the harm he did others than of the good he did himself.

Recast in definition form from: “The object of the strife being estimated as the greatest of all goods, each combatant is seized with a fierce desire to put down his rivals in every possible way, till he who at last comes out victorious is more proud of having done harm to others than of having done good to himself.”
