Whenever people learn to do anything they always seem to want to show off to see who can do it best. Who can do it longest, or who the quickest, or the most precisely.

Even firemen, who are trained to save lives, get together every now and then for contests and demonstrations to see which team can get there fastest, connect the hoses and hit the target first, or who can push the ball accross the line with the most powerful stream of water.

Those fire engines can pump. And spectators come from all over to watch these strange contests where hoses are connected to fire hydrants, and valves are quickly opened to release that high pressure stream which can knock a person down if they are not careful.

Its easy to forget that this equipent is used to save lives, that all that practice has a serious purpose, so that when the moment comes, when they need to connect those hoses and open up those valves, they can stay relaxed and know what to do and not be in to big of a hurry or worry about what to do next, because they have done it over and over, so that as soon as they arrive they stay calm and take charge and do what needs to be done, because they are there to do a job.

Not to win or lose a contest, not to look good or stylish, or worry about what the neighbors think but just to do what they need to do. To put out that fire and to worry about showing off later, just like animals in a zoo, who seem totally unconcerned that anyone else is there and just do what they do whether they are in the zoo or not.
