Why Do We Compete Instead of Connect?

What drives us to tear each other down when we’re all just trying to make it through life? In the end, aren’t we all just human? Aren’t we all flawed and fragile? So why the pride? The judgment? The disrespect?

Same race – human. Same fears. Same struggles and longings. Same need to be seen, heard, and loved.

We’ve gotten so used to dividing and comparing that we’ve forgotten the power of connecting. Of building up instead of tearing down.

The truth is: we have far more in common than we do in conflict…. Isn’t it time to act like it. Let’s stop fighting for a spotlight and hurting each other in the process. Starting today, can we trade competition for compassion, and begin connecting with what makes us human?
