RE: My greatest competitor
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I've never felt overly competitive. I distinctly remember at school, playing team sports, getting to win didn't seem worth having to make the other guy lose. I didn't want him to feel bad.
Guess I just wasn't born with the gene. I do enjoy the satisfaction of the perfectly placed shot, the 3 point swish or the perfect team in a Splinterlands match.
The older I get, and the better I get at losing, the less sympathy I have for those I beat at stuff. So I'd say I'm slowly acquiring a taste for it.

Yep, it's a bit like that these days...There seems more value to be found elsewhere. The momentary feeling one gets from winning, which is possibly more about seeking other people's validation anyway, isn't as enjoyable as other factors. Sure, I don't like coming last...But it's all relative. If I came last at a World IPSC Shoot I'd not feel so bad I guess, considering the calibre of entrants.
Meh, I've got more interesting and important things in my life than winning on the range.
Thanks for commenting.
