Competitive

"A fair competition is needed for a healthy economy," someone said on TV while I was not paying attention much. Aren't we naturally competitive? Historically, we've been fighting each other for the survival, faith, power, lust, and simple greed. It is funniest excuse to hear when someone uses physical abuse or weapons to keep peace and order of the family, nation, or the world. I am one of those who believe in bringing peace by practicing peaceful act. While criticizing others for corruption, we should analyze ourselves on what level we, ourselves, are corrupted consciously or unconsciously. We always have excuses for ourselves though. As long as we can look away from the injustice because the situation simply is profiting us or our beloved ones, the power of corruption will be stronger than ever. If we can just take away and happy with the bonuses while some of our co-workers, colleagues, are being laid off, why would we complain those who are excising power to root the cancer of corruption in the bureaucratic organizations. It is what we refrain ourselves from. Temptations are out there --- It's a jungle. Are we going to be mindful? Or are we voluntarily going into the embrace of the tightening vines of greed. Let's be real. Let's be rational. Let's bring back our morals.
