Competition is a funny thing. It brings in feelings where there were none. In this sense, it seems to fill a void. I hate competition. It is the reason I lost many friends. I believe that if being my friend you compete with me, you are instantly entitled to become my enemy. Regardless, the feeling of competition continues. It resides in your heart, your mind and creeps into your very existence, making your life miserable.
Some say that competition is the mother of all their progress. If they are to be believed, competition is a much stronger aphrodisiac than success because the lesson is in the struggle not in the victory. I presume I may be wrong but it indicates a strong sense of jealousy on their part. How can an individual compare oneself with another? I fail to get this and isn't there a saying which says, "Believe in YOUR-self and YOUR abilities. You are born original!"
People do silly things due to the feeling of competition. In order to prove that they are superior, they resort to means they wouldn't have otherwise. Cheating, fraud, even severe crimes work for them, especially when the competition is for money. The worst kind of competition is for power. Its a mad mad world out there and this is what they are fighting for. This one word makes the universe go around. Phew! At least I am safe, for now...
