Competition is our experience. Competition is all there is. We were born to compete. It is either compete or die. There is no static middle ground. Do we crave to be coddled? Yes, but our only real need is to find a place to compete. It is fundamental to our world and likely every other world in the galaxies. Compete we must or we are in the process of dyeing.
Do you
doubt? Why does every culture have its stadium games? Why is all of life about
the survival of the fittest? Why does suicide seem to some to be friendly? Why
does every earthly power center including politics, religion, economics and
cultural norms, reek of competition? Why do so many of us suddenly die after
losing the competitive edge after retirement? Why do so many veterans commit suicide
after leaving the security of the military?
The answer
is they quit, they surrender, they run to mama! Competition, for them, is
somehow, too much. The lesson: Always be in the game. Always take life as it
comes and find a way to compete in every circumstance. Simple but so
challenging.
Socialism is
the political answer to running to mama.
