There is a subtle message that hides in every beautiful facet of the world. It manifests itself in the colourful plumage of birds that are competing for a partner, in the howl of a wolf that is marking its territory and even in the roots of a plant that claims a piece of land for itself. This message is the fact that the drive for competition is inherent in every living creature. Competition inevitably leads to some form of inequality as the winner becomes the recipient of the resource that he was competing for, while the defeated individuals do not gain anything.
This form of competition and subsequent inequality is, in its own way, natural. It helps the stronger, smarter or more skilled members of a species survive so that the overall population has a higher chance of thriving regardless of the threats or obstacles that it may face as a whole. There is, however, a definite problem when this very characteristic is observed amongst human beings as well.
