Thoughts on competition

RE: Thoughts on competition
Personally, I like competition. Is that because I've come out more on the winning side of competition, maybe. Or not dwell on the loses and continue competing because I derive pleasure from it, win or lose. I'm not sure I have impartial perspective. I know quite a few people who consider me a winner and quite a few who consider me a loser. For me, the wins and loses can be categorized. Based on my posts you should be able to tell that I'll never win at spelling.

Some win, some lose, some tie, some choose to never play. The losers today may be the winners tomorrow and vice versa. I believe it's in our evolution and part of what makes us human. Makes us each individual. I think the individual talents in a group elevate the group as a whole. I don't think we'd have that in a hive society. I don't think I'd like hive society.

If everyone were completely equal what does that do to individual talents? Are those individuals told not to develop those talents because there will be others that are less equal? Feels like, in total, it might have a dumbing down effect.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
