Competition is what strives and pushes the human mind to the best of their abilities. As a developing artist, the people who had similar skill to me were pitted against me as competition. The surreal moment of seeing your idolized favorite artist since you were a kid eye to eye hits you which could not be achievable without competition, and competition is always present then, always wanting to be on top, a way of unrest because there is always someone better. As a child, I recall that most of my relationships involved competition. The jealously grew for the need of looking down with a condescending glare with a smirk of triumph, the desire to be better, and the way we foolishly push ourselves to best the other, forming a rivaly. That is not to say rivalry is unhealthy as there are friendly rivalries unless turned rotten if there are no accepted truces and forgiveness. Competition may obstruct a pure relationship; however, competition provides self improvement in skill and character when it makes people realize that they are not the best and provides a reason to enact in efficient work ethics if they actually acknowledge the competition. People can take competition in both ways, to climb higher or remain in their spots with no will, and acceptance to their position.
Growing up, there is a broader sense of competition in the outside world than personal conflicts. Competition is undesirable when it comes to the search for careers. The fear evoked when there is high competition for a certain profession cause students to stray away from that profession when they think of their future in such a dilapidated economy. Even with a mindset to fight efficiently in the game of competition, the high competition would not make them rise to where they could have been if competition was at a decent level. High competition actually challenges people to do the impossible, and whether that is achieved depends on the determination of the person. Competition is present in business enterprises, as companies try to sell out others and when there is no more competition at the moment of time, a monopoly is formed. The absence of competition, in a sense, is harmful to society. While competition may seem brutal, competition is necessary for order in society and self-improvement.
