Competition Sounds Good But Isn't Good For Life

Competition results in winners and losers. Already, this is not good.
Competition does not lead to balance, but imbalance. Do not be misled to think about competition in games and competition in economics to be same thing as competition for life.
First of all, a game is just that and not essential to life and existence. Second of all, supply and demand, as practiced by humans, is not even competition in the sense of a level playing field. The way supply and demand is practiced actually creates imbalance.
Thirdly, competition for life is something many prefer not to participate in but must because they are being attacked and the resources they need are behind enemy lines. Competition for life is the kind of competition where the attacker is the sole rule maker, the player, coach, commissioner and referee. This is not due to behaving respectfully but by behaving aggressively, deceitfully and murderously. Since competition for life is the status quo "MO" for societies, there can never be a fair chance, level playing field or equal opportunity until competition ceases.
As shown by multiple metaphors throughout creation, only through sharing of nutrients and resources and distribution of the same and redistribution of the same can there be balance, thus equity, thus equality, thus justice, thus peace, thus harmony, thus civilization. The last thing we need is democracy. It sounds good, but in its current form, isn't good. Democracy encourages competition for life which also isn't good.
