Weekly Theme: Week of October 16-22, 2016

The Theme for this Week is Cooperation.  So what does Cooperation mean, anyway?  According to Google, there are, at least three meanings, the first being, quite simply, "the process of working together to the same end".  Now, contrast this with the first meaning, for "define compete":  "strive to gain or win something by defeating or establishing superiority over others who are trying to do the same".  Now, what feels better?  Cooperating with a friend, or competing with a "rival"?  (And yes, I know that competing can include a "rush", as well as a feeling of "triumph", if you win.  But what if you lose?)
