IS BEING NON-COMPETITIVE AN ATTITUDE OF A NON-ACHIEVER?
Question: Our practice of Buddhism has made us easy-going and we are not interested to contend. However, some people feel that this is an attitude of a non-achiever.
Answer: It is a matter of one’s spiritual state. For example, when you let go after learning Buddhism, in reality, this act of letting go is based on your ability to see through the reality of things.
However, there are others who let go because they cannot see through the reality of things. These are two different concepts that manifest in similar behaviour but the difference lies in the person’s level of spirituality.
