They say
Pick your battles
I say
My life is not a war
The plight of competition
Only brings about confusion
The real goal is never accomplished
Never known
The true purpose is hidden
Kept secret like middle name
Competition
May be good for now
How long can the greediest continue to win
How long after the hungriest consumes all
Consumes themselves
Cooperation
Instead of negating your efforts
I wonder
If I help
Would we both gain?
Is there a reason
You or I need to win?
Cooperation
That is true
Benefit
No on need lose
True elevation
Of the mind
True elevation
Of the spirit
Comes not on a hill
In a cave or room
Sequestered away from light
Secluded in darkness
It comes in a single act of
Selflessness
When you decide to
Share and help
Without thought of personal benefit
Without thought of private gain
Competition
Will eventually rot the soul
Entirely
Where as
Cooperation
Seems to be
Ultimately
The goal
