Comp

[ NOTE: For people the next subject helps to make a distinction.
As well, I’m not suggesting I’m competing with anyone.]

The subjects are: competition and war.
In USA, competitions can be fully friendly. Friendly competitions are (ABC order) baseball, basketball, football, racing, running, soccer, swimming, and the Olympics, etc.

What makes a difference between competition and war, are that:
A competition has rules, is legal, also it preserves morality and friendship.
A war has no rules, is not legal, and it discards morality and friendship.
Wars want no fun, and aims to damage.
Competitions want fun, and aims for vitality.

For example, if you bring actual swords to a basketball game, that’s when the rules are broken and it becomes a war of unfriendly and immoral practices.
All the fun is gone when people get hurt.
In war, prime practices include to hurt people to accomplish a main goal.
In competition, prime practices include to help people (friendship or teamwork) to accomplish a main goal.
A man can know the difference between the 2 by asking: Does the competing directly hurt someone? Or, does the competing singly accomplish a goal?
The first is war. The second is competition.
A friendly goal for basketball is = get the ball into the hoop.
Can you reach an objective in a friendly way?

Competition is each person’s pure struggle to reach an objective;
It’s friendly motivation under the barrage of varied offenses with a serious objective to overcome an obstacle.
It’s structured by rules within a bounded area to make it friendly and safe, and measurable.
If true friendly harmony exists, it strengthens each friend.
An expression goes: “Survival of the fittest.”
Nature made Fighting and fleeing as basics tools to survive. For humanity, the objective of fighting is a tool to survive, to help people in scarcity, or in survival is a means to secure a resource for a sure future. The Olympics is to keep each nation strong overall to secure the future.

Competition =
Play by Rules, Legality, Morality, and Friendship + Survival tool + Achieve a Goal.

For a peaceful people the goal of war is by policy to preserve and save vast populations of priceless lives.
War initiated to defend and save lives of innocents is quite proper and okay.
For a prime ideal, when dealing with a perceived universal evil of an army and leader or like agents, mankind is given the privilege to cure the endless destruction of life by detaining the threat or even to the ends of destroying them when necessary.
Yet, no war is preferred because each person risks permanently losing one’s life, a limb, a friend, or loved one.
Furthermore, when the actions are to take lives or hurt people, we shouldn’t indulge in fun. Every whole person should be preserved, including innocent casualties like the young. Thoughtful consideration should always be held for an opponent in war on the opposite side, because he or she as a human being should be treated like a precious jewel.
Because wars do happen, necessary depictions of war in media can be instructional or bring preliminary exposure to prepare any society.
Nonetheless, when all the benefits of war are present, and all the drawbacks of war are missing, as in media, is when war can be fun and entertaining.

In Media

The first half of this page is about war in Real Life.
Wars stated were Not Including wars of media:
Movies, Writing, and Video Games.

War in video games are exciting and fun. War in movies are of the best entertainment. War in writing are captivating or preparatory.
Prime concerns of war in reality, are: zapping actual life, physical harm, emotional damage, *immorality, and unfriendliness.
Media prevail 4 of 5 of these prime concerns:
1) No actual life is taken away.
2) No actual physical harm is done.
3) Emotional damage of war doesn’t happen, i.e. like extreme stress or feeling resentful that a loved one was recruited, because no participant is obligated to risk hurt or meet direct danger.
4) Media can show or teach successful cooperation, teamwork, friendship. In video games, it strengthens socializing when there’s a multiplayer, or online play.

*Morality and Conclusion

The 5th prime concern of *immorality will be lightly stated.
In the military, practices of war in training, exercises, and competitions can be super fun, because again it doesn’t sacrifice real life, and these events are controlled by rules of physical and moral safety. Military activity as preparation to protect is essential.

Digitally, the level of morality a person has in real life is carried into all aspects of life, hence a person retains an equal morality when in a video game world. In real life, a person who is sufficiently independent can still remain moral when surrounded by immoral people . In the digital world, it’s similar. Even if an immoral protagonist is provided as the player, and he’s admits an immoral team of friends, i.e., digitally, your group who want to chop off all fingers of a tribe for no real reason also after that tribe saved their lives, the actual moral standard of the real person can be preserved even in the digital world.
In a video game or movie the morality about zapping a bad guy is for the typical reason to “save the world” or universe.

Morally, a wicked mastermind and army who is determined to annihilate all life on Earth, is a reason that digital shooters and weapon combat have a morally right backbone. The obvious causes for martial courses of retaliation to save innocent lives in a game mimic reasons of real-life. The result is permission is granted to annihilate dangerous men who urge for bountiful destruction of innocent lives.

As a result, the 5th prime media concern of 5 is usually met, about moral concerns.
Most times, if immorality does happen its to teach how to achieve an overall goal, or how to handle survival situations, or how to avoid its danger.
Media benefits are to strengthen the core survival skills which are necessary,
and prepare people for dire circumstances that can happen in life.
Realistically, war is permitted to save a bulk of a valuable innocent populace.
Digitally, the drawbacks of war are surmounted because the prime concerns of protecting life, sustaining emotional health and morality, and enhancing friendships are met.
