Competition:Evil or Necessity?

What is competition?
From what we all have heard in our lives it's what we can say is the harbinger of the better person on the field. It helps us to find who is more efficient for a particular work and who is not.
Well, is it? Or is it just a bait for success or is it a rat race that never ends? Questions flood our minds when we deeply think about it.

World is a short place, getting shorter as the population booms. What the result of it is not just more mouths to feed but more minds to be harnessed. Stiff competition for jobs, stiffer for studying in top institutes and even stiffer for surviving in this world. Comparison and competition has become an integral part of our deep rooted psychology. 

Comparison and competition both go hand in hand. And it starts just from childhood. Parents nowadays tend to compare their children for literally anything. Whether it be studies, whether it be sports everywhere comparison and competition creeps in. As important as it is, it's also harmful if not kept under check. Children as soft minded they are usually tend to believe that competition and winning it is the most important thing in world because it gets them appreciation as well as prizes. This proves a great blow to their own esteem and confidence when they lose something to other. Rather than winning children start believing that losing of others is more important. Failing also becomes a hard part for them to digest.

Children are the future citizens of our world and they should always be taught a right thing as they take up things pretty quick in childhood. Many harmful effects of competition are now a common sight in our society. Children committing suicides, going into depression, losing the joy of life just because they couldn't get past a competition has become an everyday news. This all creates havoc not only in minds of parents but also the younger siblings who imagine themselves in their situation.

Let's get this straight that wherever in the world we can find people, competition will be lurking aside but it is for the better person to win and not for the other to lose. It's the thinking which sets apart the definition of competition in two people. Competition is important for the world to grow, even more for people to get better but the face of competition is disintegrated by people who mistake competition's goal of learning to winning. 

Competition eventually urges us to work harder and be a better man. This is the sole purpose of comparison which keeps getting in oblivion. Realizing this before it's too late is a better thing to do rather than repenting on what happened afterwards. The dawn of humanity and moral world would be coming as soon as we realize how dark the phase has become and how necessary is to bring a light of hope. The society needs our awakening, the world needs our awakening and so all we must remember for our life is
