I think by mentioning genetic I was partly trying to say such preferences for competition vs harmony are probably not worth trying to change to a great degree , that's the way you are, it should be respected.

I doubt there are many people with absolutely no competitiveness, I'm a male visual artist, all day long I'm seeking to create harmony and beauty in my work but am highly competitive with other artists, it probably does make me do better work.

As long as it's sportmanlike competition may well be very healthy and good for society.
