Luna Bliss Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 These people I'm teaching landscaping to....they want to be GOOD. They are often afraid to even begin. I'm trying to get them to play, to LOVE what they're doing -- as a child would. When you love what you do, most likely, eventually, you will be good at it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna Bliss Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Does one have to be conscious of their competitiveness to be considered 'competitive'? Perhaps one can simply be lost in chatter.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw there was massive disapproval to the idea. There's no use challenging your viewpoints because I agree with you all for the most part and like Scylla alluded to, I was just thinking out loud for the most part. In other words, I know it's a half baked idea anyway.... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And good idea or poor one, it's seldom a bad thing to discuss issues like this, if only to establish why we think it's a poor idea. Keep being you, Gopi. 🙂 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Better People" around here keep saying we MUST NOT post negativity, even against the very worst ideas ever, or we'll be "Nancy Naysayers". Saying an idea is a sucky piece of drek that failed once and should NEVER EVER RETURN, is simply NOT allowed. Remember their catchphrase "There's no such thing as a bad idea, they solve problems and lead to patents"! ( Regarding which, James Puckle, the inventor of a crew served, tripod mounted, 9 shot, 4-Bore flintlock revolver, intended to solve the problem of shooting ROUND bullets at people of the same religion, and SQUARE bullets at infidels, which idea he patented, and which sold about 3 copies, all to the same wealthy lunatic, would seem to contradict that "Positivity Meme" ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Bliss Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Oh there's some truth to realistic Rita...yes...but one can go overboard and actually become TOO negative. When that imbalance occurs depends on the people there. Often one has to change their attitude to fit the group at hand, or much criticism ensues.

That should make someone happy. I found out last year that if you use that particular one, you'll not only get your face slapped you'll also become a pariah like me. You are not allowed to stand up for yourself or defend yourself. And lets not forget having an opinion that is at odds with the hive mind. When you express a contrary opinion, they will accuse you of trolling and report you... because hey seriously, how could anyone actually believe such a thing... they must be trolling 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I did like the movie about sports named Cool Runnings where the team opted to assist fellow sportsmen who were in trouble, causing them to lose the race if I remember right. Yeah...there's judgement inworld....everyone has an opinion about what is best. Personally, I stay as far away from competition as I can. I choose my clothes because I think they're pretty, and it's not based on what anybody else does. I create nature art out of love, and not to win any contest. Competition is only part of sports.. I Barrel raced for years and it was some of the best years of my life..There was so many positive life lessons during that period.. Especially embracing failure rather than looking to blame someone for mine..Most of them were during working to get better, because If I sat there and blamed anyone else for them, I would have not gotten any better and would have really failed when it came time to ride in.. SL competition is nothing like Barrel racing or the work that it takes to be able to get ready to even be competitive. SL competitions is like comparing twitter likes to well , this.. hehehe Edited September 22, 2023 by Ceka Cianci Fixed one of my typos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha never done barrel racing but I can imagine it being a fun game. Like you, I've had competitive type experiences throughout my life that were beneficial to me in various ways. I think, however, our Western world over-emphasizes competitiveness over cooperation to its detriment. We are way too close to a nuclear war because we do not value the importance of cooperation as well. There are ways to teach our children cooperation along with competition and they are not emphasized enough. When we look at aboriginal tribes, both past and present, we see fierce competition, but we also see much more cooperation between individual members and between tribes than we see in much of the Western world societies. It's interesting that many believe evolution was just a 'dog-eat-dog' climb to the top, but studies show that even on the most basic physical levels cooperation was, and still is, crucial for the evolution of life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
