IS COMPETITION ALWAYS WRONG?

Competition seems to inevitably lead to winners and losers and this runs the risk of separating people. On the otherhand, competition is often considered to be healthy. So is competition healthy or not?  Or is it sometimes healthy? What might healthy competition be. It has been decribed as being healthy when the goal is not actually winning or losing but sharing a learning experience? I have often seen opposing teams after the game is over actually hugging each other, showing genuine affection. So can we compete against friends [or other humans] and honor the friendship [common connection]. So, what is competition? Is it either two individuals or two groups trying to win or be successful in an event with one individual or group winning and the other losing. Does competition always involve winnng and losing or can it be for some kind of recognition that can be shared among a number of people [a learning experience?]. Competition is considered good for free market economies as it is considered to lead to better products, lower prices and more innovation to develop new products. Unfortunately there are few actual free market economies as other factors skew the competition in favor of one or a few companies. This is especially the case with the opportunity to manipulate potential customers using false information via social media. 

My concern about competition is that so often it seems to separate people as winning is considered everything and losing nothing or at least so much inferior to winning. It reminds me of zero sum thinking as it competition seems to be experienced as "the winner takes it all."

What do you think?
