COMPETE AND LOST COMPETENCE

 COMPETE AND LOST COMPETENCE

We sojourn in life like a race, where everyone desires a good ending; standing tall. Ironically, not every beginner gets a prize. The race not being without guided rules, negligence and mistakes terminate the strong desire!

 Life works with principles and standards. The quest to excel brings about high competition as the aspiration to stand out and get the “medal” has led to vandalism of irreparable- losing one for another.  Competition also exist on whose voice is to be heard and honored. Right from creche, we compete to be the best and as time unveils her identity, the realization to the fact that life is a race get dawn on us, then we begin to struggle and strive to survive- survival of the fittest! A race that is not only meant for the strong but also for the weak. Everyone under heaven keeps competing, yet she (life) has many prizes to give; both wrapped and unwrapped.

 The roles and responsibilities attached to our individual beings are enormous that trying to become someone else is only an additional burden. Neglecting one’s vital roles will only result into becoming irrelevant. Table salt and sugar are both crystals and sweeteners that exhibit the same color, yet irreplaceable. At times, we are only found in competitions that make us lost our competence and basic areas of influence, therefore resulting in chaos. More often than not, the unconscious/ conscious reason behind this competition is the FEELING OF INSECURITY, INFERIORITY, and FEAR or basically to OPPRESS

 It is high time we rose to take up our individual roles and play our parts to remain competent in the area of our influence- irrespective of the GENDER, RACE and AGE. So I see the BEST of competition as  that which FLAMES UP YOUR DESIRE TO EXCEL, not out of Hatred, Insecurity and Jealousy neither for Momentary Applaud, Intimidation, and Mere Impression of oneself.  When we compete, it should not be done for the joy in seeing the downfall of another, but for the benefit of all (making you grow, and teaching the “temporarily defeated” that a ladder also has steps; we keep climbing)

…else, competence is lost rather than a feeling of completeness.
