From running race to boxing game

The world of sports is amazing. I haven't been good at any sports game nor followed any game so sincerely as some of my friends do. Yes, cricket did catch my imagination, I did spend some time watching them but not as a crazy fan.

Each game is unique and inspires specific aspect of the world. For example, in a running race, there is no physical contact between contestants and the winner is determined based on the amount of time he / she takes to finish the race. Next interesting sports is wrestling, here there is a physical contact between contestants and it is art of overpowering the opponent using tricks and strategy. Then we have boxing, the blood sport where in opponent is weakened through strategic punches.



In life we always expect competition among the human being to be like a running race wherein whoever finishes first due to his/her effort shall enjoy the benefits. Of course there are chances of influencing the runners indirectly to weaken them during the course of competition. But somehow we end up being in nature of competition wherein boxing gets into picture. A situation arises wherein one has to purportedly weaken other guy to claim benefits. One man's upward movement is linked to another man's downward movement.

Is this a fair way to compete? I always believe that we have every right to move ahead but do not have right to stop others by becoming an obstacle to their progress. If someone feels that his / her goodness lies in others badness, he / she is definitely complicating their life unnecessarily.
