"No, no necesitas más competencia, necesitas menos. Es cooperación. Debemos recordar que no todo se juzga por las fuerzas del mercado. Las cosas realmente importantes, incluso hoy, incluso ahora, no se pueden comprar ni vender."
— Salman Rushdie
Simplified Meaning:
The quote is telling us that sometimes, working together is better than trying to compete. Think about a community garden where everyone shares the work and the produce. If each person tried to outdo the others, the garden wouldn't thrive. But when they cooperate, everyone benefits and they grow more healthy food together. It’s also saying that many of the best things in life, like love, friendship, and kindness, can't be bought with money. These things are priceless and they come from connecting with others, not from competing with them. So, it's suggesting that in many situations, joining forces and valuing what we can't buy is more important than trying to win or make a profit.
