It is this kind of competition that cause...

We are wandering in this world since infinite lifetimes. Why is it that we are still unable to attain liberation? The root cause of this is ignorance. Ignorance gives birth to ego and then starts the cycle of attachment-abhorrence. Abhorrence causes vengeance. It is this vengeance that makes us wander life after life.
