Its like cubs that play in order to learn and prepair for the "real world". Please understand that this world is wicked and not always nice. One needs to train and prepair oneself at least so much so that one is able to defend oneself. There is no point if one gets killed and eaten. Train the body and train the mind.
competition is the opposite of cooperation.
At least when I compete, I dont eat my opponent. It is a friendly exchange of skills and joy of the sport. How one behaves during and after the competition is up to each person. I do find this topic so interesting because I believe that earthlings generally have poorly balanced third chakras. Its either supressed or hyperactive. None of the options serve anything sutbstantial (but ones ego) and only block. I find "looser attitude" to be very common. It doesnt matter if you win or loose in the game but how well could you perform. There are often things we dont have any influence on that effect the outcome. I dont worry myself much with them as I dont have any influence on them. I do what I can from where I am.
Yesterday I played in a community based football tournament. It was a low level tour with people from around the neighborhood. We lost badly and as a goalkeeper I got my big toe smashed in. Now its all swollen and hurts. But I dont mind. I had alot of fun and as did many others. At that occasion it was about the enjoyment of the play and the gathering, not the winning. One of our players couldnt accept that we had such bad results and was very insulting to others and even shouted at them in a threatening manner. He had complete "looser attitude" as he was unable to accept that one might loose and not perform well.
And yes, you can compete in a cooperative manner. I do it all the time. The world is not all black and white ladies and gentlemen. There are more colors in this world.
