Back after the dreaded move!!! was created by Neaj Pa Bol
Hello my fellow Jedi. Been gone for a bit having to move and all and back to share with
all of you and meet new folks...

Wanted to share an item to help smack reality once again into our minds
not to forget outside of here is a world in chaos.

Now I'm not talking politics or regions but something as those of us that
are parents or grandparents, as well as the generations to come.
Civility seems to be lesser in our world when sports come into play.
In Tennessee it's reported that at the end of a game when good sports-
manship is to be demonstrated by the good game and hand shake is
no longer acceptable due the poor sports that begin to brawl.
What can we do? It's our job to help our children learn to be good sports
and not be poor sports. Competitiveness is one thing. But not learning
to make oneself better and brawl over it is chaos.....

Just a thought only return...

Faith is daring the soul to go beyond what the eyes can see...

Faith is a journey, not a guilt trip...

Quiet your emotions to find inner peace. Learn from ignorance to foster knowledge.
Enjoy your passions but be immersed in serenity. Understand the chaos to see the harmony.
Life and death is to be one with the Force.

Agreed.

To be honest, in these days I'm surprised fights don't break out more often. So much aggression out in the world.

Also, welcome back :)

Welcome back! Good to see you again!

I'm not a sports fan to begin with so people that fight over them just baffle me. I would fight to defend my friends, family, and country NOT because my team lost. Its just insanity and chaos like you said.

I also feel like athletes are VASTLY overpaid. 20 million dollar two year contracts!? Honestly!? Our doctors and firemen sometimes make less than 100,000 a year. Not to mention the absolutely deplorable salaries our teachers receive! If we value the man that smacks his head into the heads of others over a little brown ball THAT much more than the people that insures the success of our children in life there is a SERIOUS issue in our society. I know teachers that are literally about to become homeless and can barely feed their families.

Serious, folks, "panem et circenses" is what you get.

“Though, as the crusade presses on, I find myself altogether incapable of staying here in saftey while others shed their blood for such a noble and just cause. For surely must the Almighty be with us even in the sundering of our nation. Our fight is for freedom, for liberty, and for all the principles upon which that aforementioned nation was built.” - Patrick “Madman of Galway” O'Dell

I'm better than you are because...
my country is #1(nationalism)
I have more money than you(classism)
my god is better than your god(theism)
my team is better than your team(fan-boyism?)
my iPhone is better than your iPhone(aplle fan-boyism)

We are taught to be competitive... encouraged to hurt others... my gain is your loss. Competitive people don't work together, they don't bond and form alliances to one another. This makes them easy to control via nationalism, classism, etc.
Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
