Once we realize
we are all members of humanity,
we will want to compete
in the spirit of love.
In a competition of love
we would not be running
against one another,
but with one another.
We would be trying
to gain victory for all humanity.
If I am a faster runner than you,
you may feel bad
seeing me pass you in the race,
but if you know
that we are both racing
to make our world better,
you will feel good
knowing that we are racing
toward a common goal,
a mutual reward.
In a competition of love
we'll all share in the victory,
no matter who comes first.
