Our kayaking group used to be about exploring new rivers and now it's become this competitive thing where people show up with expensive gear and talk about their training times. The rivers are the same but somehow we've forgotten how to just be curious about what's around the next bend together.
More people experience this than they realize.
Competition can poison the well of wonder that originally drew explorers to the same waters.
