Peace in our time

The winter games are over now and it is sad but I suppose they do have to end so that they can come again. However, if the entire world, well a great part of it can come together in relative peace and exist for a common purpose, why can’t we solve other problems.

Can’t the principles of the Olympic games be applied to the rest of the world. They can and that is the ideal behind this that the world coming together in peace will transcend the sporting world and influence the political world.

One where we see each other as men and women who despite the customs, traditions and ideas of our home countries, can embrace one another equally.

There are winners in the games but not finishing best is awarded and recognized as effort worthy of praise. It isn’t awarding mediocrity as the cynical world says recognizing anything but best is doing but rather that effort is a reward.

The men and women of the world compete under flags of nations but as persons inspired by their individual love of an activity.

We can build a world more like that one that exists every four years in winter and summer for two weeks.

House the world
Feed the world
Heal the world
Educate the world
Employ the world

Peace in our life time, would indeed be a great thing. Think the next time you have a disagreement or a problem were can you meet in the middle with the person and if you can’t agree on the issue agree to disagree and let the matter rest.
