The very spirit of competition would be an oxymoron, and we wouldn't be so much "living life" as we would be walking around like a bunch of perfectly-designed robots, beep-booping our way through the day for no real reason other than self-preservation.
And about what your father said, he can just piss off. Your life is yours alone, and he has no right to say whether or not it has meaning; that meaning is something only you can determine.
How is that perfect? If you're just acting like a robot, not doing anything fun or enjoyable, not challenging yourself, how is this right? There can still be competition in a perfect world, since everyone is born differently, and everyone has different aspects. You can fail at something, try to become better, and then succeed without making a mistake. Anyway, I just hate it when people think that 'perfect' is bad, or mistakes are what make life interesting; since being perfect doesn't mean ultimate knowledge; and without ultimate knowledge, life can be a surprise.
Also, fathers are (most likely) wiser then us, so whatever he says your meaning is you should take as advice. It may not be the best advice, but advice nonetheless.
