Re: The Challenge of Not Competing
The mind is a maze, so if we try to judge our actions by what in our minds may have triggered them, we are quite likely to get lost.
When I stuggle to succeed with my aikido technique - am I competing?
I guess that the problem is sort of the same as in trying to act without selfishness. If this is an ideal, one is selfish just by trying to realize it.
On the other hand, if others benefit from my act, I am sure that they don't mind if my reason can be questioned.
Similarly, maybe we don't compete as long as our partners don't feel like losers?
