Because God’s equal Sons have everything, they cannot compete. Yet if they perceive any of their brothers as anything other than their perfect equals, the idea of competition has entered their minds. Do not underestimate your need to be vigilant against this idea, because all your conflicts come from it. It is the belief that conflicting interests are possible, and therefore you have accepted the impossible as true. Is that different from saying you perceive yourself as unreal? T-7.III.3:3-7

The drops of the ocean are all equal and don’t compete because they are simply part of the whole. To see oneself as separate and in competition with other drops is insane because in essence all the drops are the same having come from the same source and returning to the same home from which they have come.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. In this “inherent worth and dignity” there is no competition but only Oneness.
Today it is suggested that we reflect on our genuine and authentic nature and acknowledge it in ourselves and in others.
