All that they do is guided by their competitive spirit, even when there is no practical need to be competitive. Cooperation is not a transcendent ideal to them, but competition and winning conflicts is all important. As a result they are not good at resolving conflicts to the mutual advantage of all the participants in the conflicts. Conflicts are to be won in a competitive contest, not resolved in a cooperative effort. Since winning is most important such conflicts progress without mutually agreed upon rules into arms races and totally destructive wars which win nothing for anybody. People who are compulsively competitive are not seeking personal and communal integrity in any cooperative way. Integrity, coherence, cooperation are not central to their communal life because being "best" is. A compulsive drive for distinction leads ultimately to extinction. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in www.essayz.com Search for Integrity and Honesty (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
