All creatures intend to be cooperative. I think that is the universal law. And competition can not exist without cooperation. For instance, lion should be stronger than its prey so that it can continue to be alive. The lion should win against its prey in the competitive food chain. Zebra, in turn, should be smarter and faster than its hunters like the lion, so that it can continue to survive from being hunted and eaten. In the ancient time, people did the same thing. That is why human beings have existed since the beginning of the world. Remember that if they didn’t do that, we are not here and now. In the present, we are asked to be competitive for having better life. What is the better life? It is very difficult for me to find the better life in the 21st human society. However, there is greater than being competitive. For instance, without the prey, the lion can not be alive. I need my competitors in order to upgrade myself. We have competitors. We live together with our competitors in the cooperative relationship. Without cooperative relationship, we can not continue to survive in this world. Likewise, if we have only the competitive mind, we can not survive in this world for there is no peace. For example, some people fight against their enemy with only competitive mind and without cooperative mind. Let’s think. Who will be the real winner? I think all of them could be losers. Have a look at the best example of the World War II. Germany and Japan during the time, made the terrible historical mistake. Which won? They were defeated. Thus, it is dangerous to have competitive mind unless the mind aims the cooperative relationship with others.
