The Olympics

Aug 10, 2008 22:41

This weekend, I have watched the Olympics as much as I can. I feel this is a lot of this is history in the making. Although many might not think so, I'd like to think that watching this allows me to participate. Just right now I saw Kitajima Kosuke get a new World Record with 58.91 seconds. I can't help but feel empowered somehow as a participant in the games... not as a competitor but as a spectator adding to the energy of those who are competing to do their best. The only time in history when people come together in peace is during the Olympics. Even today, I saw a Georgian and Russian competitor hug as they completed an event, even as their home countries battle each other.

For one time, in the life of others, people come together in a harmonious event.
