Competition as such is very much common in all walks of human life, and it is as old as human social life. But, of late, this human tendency is taking alarming proportions.

• How is competition as a human nature getting reflected in your place?

Competing is quite common, and competition is the order of today, and it is going to be so in all the ages to come. However, this positive attitude to betterment is taking alarming shapes and dimensions. My place is not an exception to this.

Competition! Where is it not there? This tendency actually is able to make people, organizations and nations better themselves. For example; professionals compete one another to do better every passing day. Naturally, they remain alert and informed of changes and requirements. Obviously they perform well. This is so with education, business, interests, social and personal lives, to mention a few. In short, what ever man enjoys today is/are the result of his being competing.

Unfortunately, today the attitude to ‘being competing’ has become one of ‘being defeating’. Basically, competing is not defeating. It is rather bettering. In my place, people seem to be taking it the other way round and they go to any extent to defeat their competitors. This is a dangerous tendency which is common in almost all walks of our social life.

For example; rising selfishness is a reflection of competition; increasing instances of corruption are the result of competition; destroying the competitor by defaming him or her and engaging in evil practices to enjoy upper hands, and the like are the eerie faces of competition. Sorry to say, my place is suffering from this sad state of affairs.

In short, this alarming situation is absolutely manmade, and competition as such has nothing to do with it. So, it is right to say that what ever difficulties man faces due to changes in competition can be wisely managed if he wishes so.
