@rok-sivante, Yes, it's really painful aspect to see that in world we are pushed ourselves into an race where we have to stand on a position as an Winner or Loser and why not we all can stand as winners together and why we need this painful competition all the time.

Our teacher is Inner-self because our consciousness and our soul is ancient and it knows what is better for us, but most of the times we think only from mind but not from soul but our inner-self guide us towards those aspects in which we are good and inturn which can give sense of belongingness to us.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
