Cooking is no longer just an Art, It mores to Competition

Cooking is no longer an art?

That is what i was thinking as i was searching for recipes to prepare for my final exam.Its seems like cooking is not anymore to bring happiness to others or to make one feel good just by eating the food anymore.

As time passes, i realizes that we (dc students) tends to get more competitive as every passing term.In term 1, we were just enjoying ourselves ,willing to help and teach another and smile while learning to cook.Now that feeling has changed into something else.Whenever one did a good job, we tend to get jealous and start talk highly about that someone in very sarcastic way.And then they will try to strive just to win that person back.....competition is good but it is also bad in a way.

What happened to being happy that your friend did well or proud that he is like that! Why as we get older , we tend to be more jealous of others even our close friends.I can say i get jealous of others at certain time.It is human nature i assume....Fame and Reputation and not forgetting EGO is like a double edged sword....it can help you to obtain your objective but it can also hurt yourself in the end....

Why not whenever we see our friend being praised for his good work and just say "Good job,man " instead of sarcasm which may just make the person feel bad for doing a good job.
