Life is a dichotomy as to what we know or aware of and what we do!! 

It is like a blog I wrote on " Could & Should "  We humans for the most part; seem to act stupid; which means we know better and still do it any way...  Most of the time we know what we should do, which is the right or proper thing; but still proceed to do only what we could do, which is to get by...  This is by conscience chioce... HUH!!

Thus we set up a constructive dilemma; which leaves us in a damn if we do and damn if we don't situation!!  Most people seem to live in this time frame or phase of life...

The sports which you posted earlier is much like the nationalism or racism idea; with the feeling  that we must all belong to a group or tribe and then beat or out preform the competition or opposition...  It allows us to transpose our self or feelings to the larger more powerful, better, grander, or what ever superlative in order to feel an air of superiority or greatness...  Since most people lack the gumption to accept their life and live it to the best of their ability; they seek grandeur in sports, war, nationalism, and even religion...

It really all comes down to self acceptance, learning to be content; i.e. make your satisfaction... If everyone would learn to accept and manage their life in the manner that GOD intended; there would be no crime, lying, stealing, rape, murder or war!!  Therefore as I have blogged before: An attitude of Gratitude is the key to a peaceful and happy life... 

It is unfortunate that there are so many who for selfish purposes; use greed to control not only their own lives but many of those whom they come in contact with...  So the answer to the Goal of humans:  is failure with out moral guidelines and the Grace of GOD in their lives...

BTW: I only try to show the truth as I have found it; and GOD is at the center...  Many readers, will just scoff this off as a weirdo crack pot view...  But Like like the answer Billy Graham gave some reporters some years ago; when ask " How could he prove that you would go to heaven or hell, based on your life's decisions?"   He answered; " Well if I live a moral good life believing in GOD, and die and there is not any life here after; then nothing gained nothing lost...  But what if you live like the devil, then when you die find out that you were wrong?? "   There were not any more questions that night... HUH!!

 Did not mean to get so deep, but some questions require a complete answer...

See YA...  Kermit
