What Happens When Friends Compete?

Friends compete. In fact, they compete all the time.

In sports, grades, for scholarships, and even for internet connection (only me? okay then).

For example, I compete with a lot of my friends in Sports Day, but we are still friends :)

But in the Amigo Brothers, they compete for the championship, and they are afraid that their friendly bond will break because of the competition. And that it will create a wall between them.

What could happen is that they will try to win without hurting each other, in this case, by knocking them out as quick as possible so that they would win without physically hurting each other.

In the end of course, they remain best friends and walk away from the ring, knowing that they are both winners in their hearts.

But in some cases, friends might become enemies or they just stop being friends. When this happens, they should try to give themselves some time away from each other and make up slowly. You can't just let a little competition get between your friendship bond.

Competition always happens, whether big or small, sometimes, you don't even realize that you're competing.

But there is a difference between friendly competition and destructive competition. In friendly competition, you usually compete for who sold the most items in a Spring Fair. And friendly competitions are usually motivating us to work harder and doing better. Destructive competition can actually hurt one's self-esteem in the process, whether the opponent meant to do so or not.

If you encounter a competition with your friend, try not to hurt each other or get it between each other.
