The lions and the lamb
I'm not made for basketball, i'm not made for any games, any competitions, where the more ferocious ones win, where ambition gives wings and the heart is absent, why do i play whereas i'm dominating my direct opponent, using my hard gained abilities and all the athletics my body can give, while my concerns go for the man i'm playing against and feeling sorry that i score points over his head, evidently with few thoughts of this kind i can't stay aggressive for too long and naturally i abandon the defense to allow the adverse team to feel the high of winning. Let's feel high together by sharing it, to each his turn, too bad for me Sport is a man game, a war game.

These "war games" are all about finding praise through destroying the opponent. The "winner" gets recognition for his success at overpowering the other. I think I don't like sports for this same reason, I do not feel good to defeat another. I imagine it must be difficult for you, being a man, you are probably judged harshly for your kind values...I can't imagine you in a war game, I think to have a fair game for fun you would need to know and trust those you play with...so they will not taunt you and not cheer for themselves when you let them win. I hope they feel the "high" of winning but not the cruel feeling of thinking they defeated you. It's difficult, yeah it's hard to imagine a game because it seems either way someone feels joy over defeating the other. I was never good at any sports because I could never go against another, ultimately when I played in school I suffered some beatings and usually I just surrendered and let them have their way...basketball, soccer/football, lacrose, I can't play by the rules. That's why I enjoy solitary sports eh eh (like shooting hoops just for fun)
RépondreSupprimerYou made an accurate analysis of what i said, you perceived me so well; I should stay on the idea of shooting hoops for myself, though i have difficulties to go to the court when i'm alone, again shooting hoops can be pleasant but sharing it is absolutely more pleasant; Here a typical example completely relevant : before the game i was shooting hoops with some guys, no competition just for fun, one shoot then do a pass to the other for him to shoot his turn, and i was shooting three pointers so well that the other guy praised me, evidently in the game i was too shaky to shoot this far, i'm so much better when the game is fair with no rivalry, it's me, i'm like that, i can't stand pressure... it's so frustrating, i don't know why i'm playing anymore, exhaust myself could be the only reason but is it healthy.
