Competition as a substance

[seeyat]

In many cases, competition is just hyped up reason to live in a system that also unnecessarily provides plenty of reasons not to. Notable in excessive alcohol consumption and avoidance mentality… extreme indulgence, attempting to fully escape the suffering through manufactured positive feeling and sense of belonging and purpose.

We see "heartwarming" tales of disabled athletes or injured athletes overcoming manufactured challenges.

It sucks to see the show of it all... how truly meaningless it is. But then, we give things meaning, don't we?
