Useless Competition...
The world is full of tensions,one could normally hear people say.People are tensed because of their Personal lives,Relationships,Status,Career and the list can be far extended.I think the root cause or the 'Sanjeevni' to curb this is to stop competition with others.People are sad not because of themselves but because others are happy......human nature. But it would be in the best interests of the person himself to suppress those feelings as far as possible.Be it or not but those dissappointments could be much reduced by adopting a different perspective alltogether,say maybe a certain Status might not give me the same 'Happiness' as the other person for which we work and take pains,afterall all of us are different and get satisfaction in different kind of things.

You're right to quite an extent. most of us always believe that "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence". comparing ourselves to others can be very inappropriate and as you have said, it leads to unhappiness. instead of competing with others, we should compete with ourselves. we should try to better ourselves in whatever we are good at. we should put all our focus to our strengths and try to enhance our own abilities rather than diverting our attention to others and trying to be someone else.
ReplyDeleteYou are quite right that we should try and make efforts to make ourselves better and, also to not to be jealous of the other person who is doing good, is very important.........
ReplyDeleteAlso we have to think about working in groups in which we as Indians really Struggle.. Ryt from the school days we are thrown in to well of expectations by performing better then others, I feel this jus creeps jealousy in one's behaviour.. We are never taught to be work in groups.. Reason I feel we lack behind when compared to chinese.. I think we need to stress more on community works for us to get rid of this evil!
ReplyDeleteyou are true to quite an extent....I think we shud concenterate more on admiring the good points in other people rather than harping on their bad points which is precisely what most people now a days do.
ReplyDeleteguys i have little differences with u all
ReplyDeletealthough we should not be jealous of others , but competition is the only source of development ...
