Compete.

A lot of the problems we have in our lives arise due to the simple fact that we make those problems for ourselves. Or even worse, we are taught by people to make those problems for ourselves.

Hello there, I'm the Earthian.

If you think you are getting lost and just not feeling what I'm trying to say, I'll elaborate.
Ever since we were young, we were asked to want to beat everyone else, to be the best. It doesn't have to be this way, you see. We were taught at school more to compete with each other and less to learn and grow together. The "smarter" kids usually get together and compete with eachother just to find out who's the absolute best amongst them. And then comes the sporty kids. These are the ones that want to prove their physical superiority. They compete with eachother to prove that they are the best physical specimen and what not.
The point is, it has been engraved in our minds that competition is what that brings the best of us. We have been forced to only compete, ever since we were young, and that's what has made us into the competition machines that we are today. It's all about the survival of the fittest, the success of the best.

But it doesn't have to be this way, does it?
Wonder what people see in this chaos that is competion. Wonder what sense of achievement they feel when they win this self made competition.

Lots of love, peace.
