Comparative Anatomy
In the nature of the world, professionals described the world as such.
"It's a dog eat dog world out there."
Survival in this world requires you to compete with the people around you and to rise above them.
Such is the fate of the business world, the rules of management, the laws of survival.
All which I've read from related books.
Day by day, I seek a peaceful life, one which I will never get involved with the above.
By holding a simple mindset, I naively believed that we'll only run into such cases, in business.
As long as you stay out of that sector, you're fine.
Truth be told, they're everywhere.
Even in my work, it's a competitive nature, with a little fine lining in competition.
I've been relentlessly told to keep improving, to keep rising in terms of value, to survive.
And day by day, I feel this unknown feeling that's engulfing me every minute.
I am a happy man, on the outside.
Deep inside, I am confused, I am trapped within the depths of right and wrong.
The right and wrong that everyone has a different concept about.
No one ever defines the right meaning, not even myself.
I built a concept of passivity to curb this very competitive nature.
I attempted to cultivate a sense of thinking that nobody else would affect me in terms of their capability, talent, etc.
I am, what I am. Whether you're better or lousier than me, I don't care.
Over the years though, I see that it didn't really work.
Instead, it brought about a sense of counter-effect.
That I was wasting my time, and I had become none other than a worthless peasant lagging behind everyone else.
Day by day, I observe my own comparative nature.
As much as I do not like to use that word, and encourage people not to, it happens.
I compare my salary, I compare my free time, I compare my circle of friends, I compare anything, and everything.
I do not understand, I want to live my own life.
A life where I can confidently ignore any idiot telling me I'm being taken advantage of.
A life where I can smile and walk away whenever someone says "You can get better."
A life where I don't need to ask people "Am I doing this right?"
Yet, time and again, I sense this unhappiness driven from other people, the people around me.
It's not what I want, I want to be happy for them, and not unhappy for myself.

[Man Phase 2]
Any person you've run into now.
You've entered a world, where variation occurs.
Variation:
In the world of genetics, to have evolution, you have to have variation.
Variation means differences to life, environment, living conditions, lifestyle, etc.
Everyone will be different in their own way, and in the study of genetics, everyone is their own unique self.
We Hold The Key:
To our own future, there will be people who are attuned to others when their general behaviorial patterns complement each other. It it similarity or differences.
We all will walk our own path, our different road, and our different resolves, but towards the end, our goals are all almost the same.
We Build, We Learn, We Gain, And We Clash:
What I believe in us humans.
First we build our foundation of life, we grow through our different lifestyles, and we learn from the people around us, to be like them, or to not be like them.
Then we learn throughout our entire lives, the concept of right and wrong. We build our own concepts, and we set principles to judge the very behaviors of everything. We set our own personality, and we work towards it.
We gain our experience through our personalities, what we work on towards.
What our experiences pulls us through, we adjust accordingly, and our mindset changes.
And finally. . The Clash.
Differences:
Our variations at a certain point of time will clash.
We will argue, we will fight, we will disagree.
All for the sake of what we have confidently held on to until now.
And at this point of time, it's where it all begins.
The Wars Of The Times:
It all begins, the wars that will not stop, anywhere, everywhere.
Until every last human on earth bites their tongue and maintains the same goals.
For this entire life, the only times I see humans unifying as a whole for the same common goal, is in the movies.
And it is in these movies, when a greater enemy shows up that threathens our very existence in this world, is when we band together to fight for our survival.
But that's getting out of the point.
The Real Wars Of The Times:
Arguments will almost always happen, in everywhere.
Lawyers exist. Psychologists exist, counsellors exist. Consultants exist.
Why? They're there to change your mindset, to convince you.
When two normal people have a disagreement, they clash.
Normally, both sides will stubbornly stick to their views, and disagree, resulting in another broken link between two people.
Incidentally, this is what happens everywhere, and is the cause of almost every humanly negativity in this world.
social/Political unrest, friendship arguments, family breakups, divorces, love, you name it.
