%SIGNIFICANT LOSSES INCURRED FOCUSED COMPETITON 040829 %DOMINATE CONTROL COOPERATION COLLABORATION PEACE 040829 There are significant losses incurred when communities become so preoccupied with competition, battling-for-dominance, and/or striving-to-be-in-control --- to such an extent that they rarely cooperate with those "on the other side". Personal and communal disintegrations flow from such an exclusive emphasis upon competition, battling, and dominance. People with such an exclusive emphasis are likely to go so far as to overtly discourage cooperation, colaboration and/or dialogue with those "on the other side". Thus are sown the seeds of misunderstandings, prejudice, bias, distrust and mutual fear --- which may tragically lead to war and all of its disintegrative consquences. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
