Have you ever really thought about nature, illwill? When a squirrel steals an acorn from another, there is no moral judgement. When a hawk later eats that squirrel, there is no moral judgements. We are human, we are given the 'greatest gift in the universe,' and yet - how did we become what we are?

Evolution, survival of the fittest, whatever you want to call it - this is how we evolved to become the most dominant and intelligent species on the planet. Yes, that's right, all along our evolutionary pathways we outcompeted every other organism, and those not fit to survive were left to die. Maybe nature is like this for a reason - because it works . Competition is very, very natural my friend, and without it not only would we not have this 'great gift,' the human mind, but without it civilization would not exist. For us to evolve as people as well as organisms, the weak must fall and the more adequately suited must prevail, in my opinion.

Let's take business, an easy example: I love starbucks. It's delicious, and despite all the 'mood' or whatever else it has, that is the only reason I like it. Let's say a shitty coffee shop opens up next to starbucks in my neighborhood - it tastes bad, bottom line. If we were to live under your ultimate salvation plan, I should support the shitty coffee shop just as much as starbucks, because everyone would deserve equal resources.

The fact is, yes there are some resources on our planet, but it is my belief that noone 'deserves' anything. Do not get me wrong, I very much support spreading wealth to areas of the world that have none, but competition IS nature. We don't have to kill each other to compete (although we do anyway), but to share everything without identity, that is to me just an anarchist's pipe dream. Patriotism is wrong? Well, we might as well go the whole nine yards then and say having friends is wrong - by having a friend, you therefore support every bad thing they've ever done or said, by this philosophy.

I'm sorry if I come off as condescending - I'm all for peace and equality - but what you've done here is taken those two terms and tried to define humanity by them, and that is something I just don't think you can do. Maybe there's a reason capitalism is becoming so popular.

The bottom line is, competition is the way the world works - by telling us to spread the word, you're telling us to compete your philosophy against other people's, and you're telling us to accept your philosophy and reject others'. If you want to make the world better, go volunteer digging clean wells in Africa or start a soup kitchen for the homeless - that will make a whole lot more of a difference by your philosophy than a post on cannabis.com (no offence, fellow canncom'ers).
