The World Cup

The World Cup is over.

I watched emotion from the victors and I watched the emotion from the losers.

I watched it not only from the final match, but all throughout the soccer World Cup grand finale.

Here is what I wish.

I wish the tears of each team were not for their winning or from their defeat. I wish the same emotion could be an emotional welling from the carnage of war, of conflict, of hunger, of abuse, and of the daily tragedy’s so many suffer all over the world

.

What a difference that collective emotion would make to all of our living conditions.

The derivation of the word, “fan” is fanatic. It usually means an over zealous individual in support for a result.

It is a shame that our global community has not yet realized the power of collective thought to solve a crisis, to feed the hungry, to stop the aggressive and to comfort the hurting.

The world needs tears of compassion, not ones of victory or defeat.
