"Famously, Gandhi didn't think of opponents as enemies; he thought of
them as teachers, and this enabled him to remain open and creative. For
similar reasons, the great basketball coach Phil Jackson talked of
opponents as "partners in the dance." The reality is that thinking of
any contest as a battle or war tends to narrow focus, constrain
creativity, elevate dysfunctional stress, and reduce appropriate
risk-taking. In the end, such thinking can easily degenerate into an
"anything goes" mentality that excuses unethical behavior if it appears
to serve the short-term bottom line."
