You see in this world, there are two kinds of people my friend.....

[Osprey]

those with loaded guns and those who dig..
Does this sentence have a realistic meaning, abundantly visible in the actual world?
Discuss....

[Sultan Suleiman]

If there were just two kinds of people, this world would be a pretty dull place.

[Osprey]

Actually, i meant that every situation involves, at its core, two people competing.
In that, one wins and the other loses.

[Corvus]

Yes, every winner implies at least one loser
there is an eternal competion in our world

[Osprey]

How many do you think are eternal winners or constant losers?

[Corvus]

If someone is on a losing streak it is often a downward spiral and it is hard to turn the tide, but it is nevertheless possible with lots of effort and luck

On the other side if someone is floating on a wave of success than this is manifested in the brain and the person gets hard to break - it leads to a kind of winner mentality

[Osprey]

I think liberals and communists, at their very inner core, hate this.
They want to eliminate this 'competition' because it is 'unfair' and 'hurts' someone.

Competition is part of the human evolution. A kind of natural selection.
Only the fittest survive like Darwin once said or get rewarded which is more valid in today`s world
There is a reason why sport competions are so extremly popular worldwide. They offer this principle in a compressed easy understanable form.
But competition is a thing which is prevalent in nearly all issues of our society.

Competition is for serfs. Rulers don't compete, they rule. If you have to compete, it means you have no power.

Those rulers who have everything handed to them on a platter are posers.
Real winners are those who obtain this power through a combination of hardwork, resourcefulness, ingenuity and cunning.

Wrong. Mutual success is entirely possible. Capitalism - properly speaking - is built on it.

There are two types of people in the world: those who think for themselves and those who act on second-hand thoughts. Those who think for themselves are outnumbered thousands, if not millions, to one.

Yes, but success is not really bestowed upon ingenious brainers.

Intelligence is the means by which we intentionally make the most of the conditions we're faced with. Accidents happen, true, but they're exceptions.

[Virtuous]

There are two types of people indeed,

those that run everything behind the scenes,

and the rest of the pyramid system.

Competition of individuals have no evolutionary meaning on the long run and it contradict social human nature. Competition of societies is far more important.

That's allright, but the inherent meaning of this healthy competition is the variance and spice of life.
Everything too egalatarian is boring and dictatorial.
Competition between societies and clans should be cutthroat while between individuals of a single klan should be healthy, to sort out the different people made for different tasks.

Do you think competition is the only way to figure out ones destiny? I'm not sure about it.

The purpose of a clan is to organize a few people into self-sufficient social body that able to function independently. For this every member of the clan have to fulfill his own specific role and there should be high level of trust between members of the clan.

While most common today 'winner/loser' type of competition helps to determine the role of every member at the same time it damages trust between the members thus compromising integrity of the whole clan on the long run.

But it at least makes sure that what type of person is suited for which task. Unless, the clan has genetic defects......
Yes, there is always some bickering, but if that's what it takes to sharpen individuals to face the real world, then so be it.

[Ulex]

Actually there are 10 types of people: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
