Would the world be a better place if we were incapable of finding joy in competition?

[Matchaaa]

Imagine a reality where winning a game felt like nothing, and the thrill of victory simply didn't exist. Given how cutthroat the world can be, I can't help but wonder if we'd be happier without that competitive drive.

All my life and also my life in the business world, I to have wondered this along the lines of greed and ego.

The aspect of competitive drive sometimes translates into gee, my neighbor has he newest car or boat, so then I must have more to get to this level and stay the same.

I always wish, never ever in my limited lifetime, when we might go away from collecting money, overall greed which can come from a razor-sharp competitive drive.

Also mix in ego and then it really starts to be a very toxic mix that not only does not do folks any good BUT also the person starting the whole chain of events to "get ahead"

I have seen it too many times where someone acquires their 1st million and then no matter what they NEED more and could care less about the folks around them, just so sad.

You are such a wonderfully intelligent person and wishing you a sunny blue-sky rest of this week.

Without competitiveness, I can't imagine humanity improve to be how we are today. Smartphones are getting modern because countries are competitive, space walks are also a result from countries being competitive. While some people hate being competitive and hard to deal w the feeling, but it's just a necessary catalyst for growth

that's one way of looking at it, perhaps the competition is still there, but once the thrill is gone, things might change quite a bit.
