Competition is in the blood of every living being. We are put to the test from birth. After all, in one fleeting chance, among many others, you were born. We continue fighting throughout life because overcoming the next challenge is what drives us. Life would be utterly emotionless if we never had a barrier to overcome. In this fleeting chance of living, we are infinite.
