Competition

There's a good article with a perfect definition of competition on Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competition

The way I see it, competition is one of the most fundamental programs in our society. It is present in almost every aspect of this civilization. Most people only care about their own interests. People set their personal goals excluding everybody else. They want more money, more power. They want to be successful. They want to be famous and important. They want to make their lives better at the expense of others.

Although it's a very important program, I've got nothing new to say about competition, so I'll focus on my personal perspective.

I've never felt such a strong need to compete with others. I've always been looking for cooperation. But there's almost no cooperation in this society. I can see some division of responsibilities when people have a common goal, but it's not true cooperation.
Most people are completely unable to cooperate. They are not even able to recognize the intention of cooperation. When I try to initiate cooperation with a person or a group, I have a feeling that my intentions are not understood. I feel that people try to compete with me instead.
Very few people care about the common interest. By default, another person is seen as a competitor. I am surprised that there is even such a word "cooperation".

I distinguish two types of cooperation:
1. When there's a project that requires some cooperation.
2. A type of cooperation which can initiate many projects.

Although type 1 sometimes happens, I'm much more interested in type 2. I want to unite people and set the goal to take care of everybody's interests, including the planet and nature. But I feel like I am totally alone in this. I've never met anybody interested in such cooperation.

After a group in my city fell apart in spring 2014 I tried to resurrect it 3 times.
I tried to join another Polish group, but it also fell apart.
I try to create a group, but with zero success so far – I'm totally alone.
I contacted dozens of individuals, but every single one of them stopped writing me back.
I joined some groups on social media, but I don't see any way to start cooperation there.
Then I made a list of active people that could be interested in cooperation and I tried to contact them. I felt like only one person took me seriously. He writes his blog under the nickname Cobra:
http://2012portal.blogspot.com/
So there is one responsible, open to cooperation person on this planet.
I've seriously run out of ideas about what else I can do to start cooperation with others. That's another reason why I started this blog.

I've never wanted to be a person who shares information. I've always wanted to unite people and to actually do something. But I feel like I've run out of options.

If I was the only person left out, I would think, that there's something wrong with me. But I know that other people are fighting with each other. I know their projects fall apart. Maybe I'm not perfect, but at least I try. People who stop writing me back after 3 messages can't honestly say it about themselves.
It is disheartening when I am ready to fight for the better future, I'm ready to risk my life for people that I would cooperate with, and then yet another person doesn't feel like answering my email after 3 messages.

I mean… c'mon. Seriously?! That's all that we've got?
