What kind of race is life? Four one-line answers

1. Each individual brings to the starting line whatever assets they have—and the race is on. To the swiftest go the prizes.

2. But not everyone starts the race with an equal chance to win. So we should handicap the fastest to equalize the abilities of all.

3. Life should a collective going forward together, not a race between individuals. We should take the prize money and share it equally.

4. Life is not a race. Individuals have their own goals, directions, speeds. The only rule should be to respect individuals’ choices.

  1. Useful. Thanks.
    Option 3 can be described as: No race, no individual effort, just mutual dependence.

  2. Life is a race toward knowledge, power, greatness, and happiness by radically disparate but always-sacred Individuals. Society should bend all its efforts towards maximizing the speed of the Holy Individual.
