“Competition is a rivalry between individuals, groups, nations, or animals, for territory or resources. It arises whenever two or more parties strive for a goal that cannot be shared. Competition occurs naturally between living organisms which coexist in the same environment.”
This is a definition given by Wikipedia about the so called “Competition”.
If you noticed the line which says, Competition occurs naturally between living Organisms Coexisting in the same Environment. Does this apply too ALL…? Which means it exists between all animals… and last it happens between Humans…!
Isn’t it something which says Competition is a Rivalry… A Rivalry where in One person stands on Top of another person to compete, and thereby Win. The age of healthy competition, which was termed as MODESTY is no more in virtue. If we think in a way, even humans starting from their lives as an Infant start to compete. They think, and learn as fast as they can, to compete with their parents so as to talk, walk, and FEEL. Thus the competition is born… and it stays with the individual until he is weakened and probably no more.
The Current age hailed as the competitive world, does not feel any virtuous deeds, it wont think of modesty. All that is done is shown and showcased atleast twice as powerful as it could be. And so, the most powerful emerges. The Modest & Skillful individual practicing Non-violence is the poor guy, hiding his face from the crowd which refuses to recognize the efforts put in…..
Doesn’t it seem scrimpy that the competition between two Organizations or even two Countries is the very same Competition of SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST (as said by Charles Darwin) going in on between People; I mean Humans…? Where does it take you? Its only the material concerns about which the whole world is schizophrenic.
What if every human thought of living a yogic life…? wouldn’t it be beautiful…!
