In races and athletic competition there is a limited supply of prizes and the contestants compete to receive one of the limited number of prizes. In everyday life there is a limited amount of money, consumer goods, personal attention, consideration, etc. and members of a competitive society are driven to compete to get ahead of others in the race to be a winner. Self esteem is often based upon being among the best in the race for the limited supply of what is coveted. Competitors learn to covet that which is in limited supply and to compete to get it and possess it rather than letting others have and hold it. Human attention is limited. Human energy is limited. Human tolerance is limited. Competitors tend to compete for limited resources which they regard as the key to self esteem. Moral and ethical people who are competitors compete for moral and ethical affirmations which are in limited supply. To win, others must lose. Moral and ethical competitors are as interested in seeing others lose, as they are in winning; for they believe that they can win only if others lose. Some must go to hell for them to go to heaven. It must be clear that others are going to hell for it to be clear that they are going to heaven. Thus moralistic and ethical competitors are interested in making it clear who is going to hell, and who is going to heaven. These competitive habits of mind and heart often lead to personal and communal disintegration. It is important that contestants learn to be honest with themselves and with others as to the consequences of their misguided competitions. If they cannot learn from their misguided competitions they will disintegrate and their communities will disintegrate. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
