We lose community. We lose our selves. And all along, it's been perfectly obvious. Take football, or soccer, or R. J. Reynolds. How many losers do these games have to produce before we notice the daily degradation of our culture, our humanity, our planet.
Competition can only produce more losers than winners.
And the bigger the company or the more popular the sport, the fewer players win. Surrounded as we are by imaginary trees, we just don't see the forest. We are led to believe that there is a way out. That all we need is the right game, car, house, spouse and an extended line of credit. So, it's almost forgivable, our not being able to realize the obvious, logical outcome of competition.
