The story of "Snakes and mussels contend" tells us that we should take the overall situation into consideration when doing things, and we should not only focus on the immediate interests, but also ignore the external situation. If you only focus on being competitive, you will lose both sides and let the third party take advantage of it.

In all kinds of chaotic and complicated contradictions and struggles, we should weigh the gains and losses, and don't just think about the favorable side.
