COMPETITION!

COMPETITION

Competition occurs when there is scarcity. For example. There is only one banana and there are 3 monkeys, 3 monkeys fight for that one banana Or it occurs out of greed, Let's take the same example. There is only one banana and 3 monkeys. But this time, one monkey already has one banana but still, he is fighting for that one banana. Because he is greedy. Here I want to emphasize that greed is not negative (nor positive). But now, the question arises at this time ie 20th-century humans have infinite resources than any other generation before, but there is still competition in the world. Why?

 First of all, is competition bad? I don't know. But I know one thing for sure, that competition arises out of scarcity. Sense of lack. Greed is a form of lack. According to me having the mindset of all sum-game. looking at life, and its resources as abandoned and exuberant, Is far better than the mindset of competition.

 Some people may argue that competition helps to improve, but I have a question for them. To improve what? Isn't getting out of competition the biggest improvement?

Competition is actually a zero-sum game. Let's consider competition which is one of the hot topics of this time which is competitive exams. These competitions exist Because there are very few seats and everyone wants to be a doctor, or IIT pass-out (not an engineer). Now, For the time being, imagine that there are seats available for every student writing exams. Let's just open the gates. Now what happens is everyone will become a doctor or IITans and will be no other professions like business, vendor, shopkeeper, Carpenter, driver, etc. This will create a very unstable society and create a lot of Chaos. So the problem is in the mindset. Every job/occupation in our society is not equally respected. 

Do you think you don't need cleaners? Do you really think that?

We need them.

Then why it's not a well-deserving job to do? Then why can't one leave a financially rich life being cleaner or a watchman? Why don't these job gets the status that they actually have?

Competition is a result of a sense of scarcity in this abundant world. Life is not a dimension of scarcity rather its a dimension of abundance.
