Yet I clearly remember an incident from my own school days: a simple school play triggered conflicts among classmates\u2014an episode whose heavy consequences I have never forgotten. Years later, when a young girl told me about tensions among her friends after a film crew visited their school, it brought that memory rushing back. I realized that children remain innocent only until they step into the inevitable cycle of competition.
    \nLooking at larger social structures of power and decision-making, I see a similar pattern: if we could somehow remove the element of competition, perhaps people, too, would resemble those untainted children. It is this unavoidable race for status and position that often distances us from the true essence of our humanity.
    \nSo the question remains: how can we tame this relentless cycle of rivalry? By limiting power? Or by returning to the original, uncorrupted nature of human beings?[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_color=”#111312″ custom_margin=”-2px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||10px” bottom_divider_height=”44px” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][dsm_text_divider header=”Gallery” color=”#9b9b9b” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#999999″ header_font_size=”26px” header_font_size_tablet=”26px” header_font_size_phone=”16px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_text_shadow_style=”preset1″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dsm_text_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”100%” max_width=”100%” use_custom_width=”on” width_unit=”off” custom_width_percent=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”17887,17888,17889,17890,17891,17892,17893,17894,17895,17897,17898,17899″ show_title_and_caption=”off” zoom_icon_color=”#ffffff” hover_overlay_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.6)” hover_icon=”||divi||400″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ caption_font=”||||||||” caption_font_size=”14px” pagination_font=”Gotham|700|||||||” width=”95%” module_alignment=”center” child_filter_contrast=”104%” animation_style=”flip” border_width_all_image=”1px” border_color_all_image=”#474747″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
