Imagine if we lived in a world where the competition wanted the best from their competitor. Sadly, we live in a world where most people are just as happy if they win or beat their competitor because their opponent underperforms, was underprepared, makes mistakes, fails or just isn’t really good. Sure, that’s part of the “game” but imagine if a person as a competitor really wanted to see the best rise out of the outcome and not just win to win.
Imagine if lived in a world where two presidential candidates wanted the best from the other candidate, almost to the point of wanting them to win because it should be about merit, honor, character and value. Not wanting to win or positioning themselves against their opponent because of how “bad” the other person is. I mean what does that say about you? You’re just better than bad?
I find it disheartening when sports teams, players or in any competition where the competitor is so excited they won because the other team or opponent underperforms or just does poorly. It’s not just about winning. It’s about wanting to be at your best, because you’re matched up against the best.
