Competition allows conflicting interests to bring out the best products, bring out a leader in a group, OK... BUT:

Competition is rooted in our instincts for food, territory, opposite sex, material possessions and difference (morphology, skin color, language, beliefs...). Look at the biosphere: almost every single species fight for survival, some small percentage find symbiosis. Is there really a hope for peace if our instincts drive us against each others? If our internal wiring recognize threats where there might just be a chance for pacific coexistence? Can we survive as a species? Can we thrive? Can we... evolve?

Some people tell me, anythings possible if you know what you want and you just go for it. Some people tell me that you take what you can get and try to make the best of it. These are 2 completely opposite point of views. I just want to know if chasing your dreams is as a ridiculous a concept as so many people have over and over again, told me, or..is it just something that requires a whole lot of hard work?

The facts are simple all our actions and human functions are determined by our genetic pool .If certain genes are faulty the body and our behaviour are modified and may become alien to what we expect are standard human behaviour . The enviroment has its part however should we not develop techniques have genetic screening at birth to see if certain individuals are genetically predisposed to murdering, raping etc so that appropriate action can be taken to assist them instead of the current system that is designed to eliminate those convicted . Ie Life in prison , in Africa 80% of convicts die in the next 5 years upon release and there ends their genetic contribution to the Human genetic pool ( "genetic cleansing " as coined by me

It can be even the most simple thing! For example, I'm proud of learning to play the piano.

I have just finished an exhaustive 15 year study to determine the greatest feats of human civilization here are my results:

Greatest Man: MLK Jr. This man was so great, he is less a man and more a god. The most important person who ever lived, by a wide margin.

Greatest Work of Music: The Chain Song. A close one between this and Beethoven's Fifth but this wins out for it's broader audience.

Greatest Work of Courage: The people of New Orleans surviving. This was the worst thing that could have happened. Luckily, these self-reliant, nobel heroes survived Bush's hurricane attack and pressed on.

Greatest Work of Art: The dances of Hip Hop. The height of artistic splendor.

I did after oral surgery once and it was like in the many books. Went through a sort of tunnel and into this wonderful bright light and felt this emmence love. I had to make a decision to stay there or come back and I chose to come back.
I haven't been scared of death since.
I'd love to hear others experiences.

In my lifetime, I have tried many things that interest me, and so far, all I've succeeded in is the job I do for a lviing.

I lost money in the stock market, but kept right with it, so I have made gains as well.

I bought and raced a racehorse. He won three races but never did pay for himself.

I've painted over 100 oil paintings. Only was paid for three of them.

I was downsized out of a job I held for almost twenty years.

In sum, my life has been mostly failures and yet I believe I learned something from them, and don't consider myself a failure.

Would anyone want to keep trying in the hope of hitting it right and becoming very successful?

Or, are you just afraid to take a risk because the competiton is too tough?

Bharat Ratna is India's highest civilian award.
However since 2001 it has not been awarded.

Why can't India award it to the best of the rest every year?
