Which is more important, a good opponent or a good partner on the road of struggle

Today I am going to discuss with my opponent’s debate partner which is more important, a good partner or a good opponent on the road of struggle. I need to confirm a lot with my opponent’s debate partner* **knowledge. Next, we will discuss them one by one. If the other debater has a different understanding, we hope to be able to discuss it directly. First of all, it is the meaning of struggle. Today we think it is to achieve a certain goal. All other gains and experiences are just efforts towards this goal. A good partner refers to a partner who is different from a fair-weather friend and can truly give us advice, encouragement and assistance in your journey of struggle; and a good opponent refers to someone whose strength and ability are similar to ours, who constantly hinders our progress, and who is also worthy Our learning rivals.

After clarifying these concepts, we today believe that it does not make much sense to compare what we can learn from good partners and good opponents. Today, these subjective factors cannot be measured using an objective standard to determine which one is more capable of helping us achieve our goals.

Our argument and comparison standard today is the irrefutable spirit of good partners and good opponents. A good partner is help, while a good opponent is competition. Which of the two can help us better achieve our goals.

Then we will use the following aspects to demonstrate that the competitive spirit contained in good opponents is more important on the road of struggle.

First, from the perspective of the evolution of knowledge level, competition with good opponents is more important to us on the road of struggle.

We can see from history books such as "General History of the World" that the most critical reason why ancient humans were able to survive was the law of survival of the fittest. Through the article "Research on Evolutionary Epistemology" written by a professor at Fudan University, we can understand that in the process of the generation and development of knowledge, the universal rules of survival competition in the biological world play a key role in the evolution of knowledge.

In fact, it is not difficult to find this characteristic of knowledge evolution by examining the history of human knowledge. In the early stages of the development of human society, there was only extremely simple knowledge about the environment. Later, as competition and pressure gradually accumulated, humans actively formed corresponding mathematical knowledge, astronomical knowledge, mechanical knowledge and general knowledge about the existence of the world. If we look at the process of knowledge development together, we can have a panoramic view of this picture, which is similar to the evolution of biological species. From this history, we can know that only in competition will human beings take the initiative to acquire more knowledge and further develop their own civilization. So through this fact, we can understand that the evolution of personal knowledge mastery and learning ability, good opponents bring us more profound things than good partners. On the way to achieve your goals, there will inevitably be opponents competing with you for the same goal. Through competition, you can actively acquire more knowledge and have more opportunities to achieve your goals.

Second, judging from the characteristics of the road of struggle, competition from good opponents is more important to us.

I believe that everyone has been exposed to many famous quotes about struggle since childhood, and many historical facts also tell us that if we want to achieve our goals on the road of struggle, we must persist in hard work. Spirit. But only good opponents with a competitive spirit can do this better. Different ends naturally lead to different means. No matter how harsh a good partner is, he will never be able to keep us in a state of "born from sorrow" and maintain a spirit of hard work better than a good opponent. By analyzing the lives of historical figures such as Gou Jian, we can conclude that the fighting spirit of "born from sorrow" is often the most critical mentality to achieve goals. Therefore, the competitive spirit is more important.

To sum up, on the road of struggle, a good opponent is more important.
