Spot of T - Leveling the Playing Fields
pour into training, equipment and coaching that ends up the strongest. Money can’t buy you love but it sure can buy you the best equipment.
In a normal world, this is the law of the land. But we are no longer in a “normal” world. We are in the ultimate competition, this time for our lives. This virus has succeeded in leveling the human playing field. It does not differentiate between poor and rich, between powerful and peon, between male and female, between black and white, between fame and anonymity. It doesn’t care who you are. It strikes and attacks viciously, without a second thought as to whom it is attacking.
So here we are, all on the same team. There are no more borders, there are no more battles between political rivals and political parties, there is much less hatred for those we don’t understand, and there is one more important thing. There is now a connecting of all for the greater good. Those on the front lines fighting this invisible foe don’t stop to ask whether you are republican or democrat, whether you are an American citizen or foreigner, or whether you are unemployed or have a job. The heroes on the front lines are working against the virus and are on YOUR team. The human team.
This is by far one of the worst things I have seen in my lifetime and has struck the most fear globally that I’ve ever seen. And yet, I know I’m not alone. I am on the same team as every other human being around the world. We work together, each doing our part. And if our part is merely to stay home, that is a HUGE part. It is the VITAL part of the strategy to defeat this unseen enemy. Be a team player. Stay home.
Interestingly, until recently, most of us would complain that we didn’t have enough spare time to do things we have always wanted to do. Now that “spare time” is thrust upon many of us forcibly, and many of us are unhappy! I recently had a conversation with someone who was unable to leave home. I said, “But where would you go?” She replied, “Nowhere. I just want to be free to go out if I want to.”
I think we can all relate. No one wants to feel like a prisoner, the human animal likes to stay busy, to do things, to help out, to come and go as the mood strikes. When our ability to choose is taken away, we want to rebel. We all miss that ability. But, if we all work together, before long, we’ll once again be free to do what we choose. First things first – let’s defeat the dreaded Coronavirus by working together. Please. Stay home. For my sake, for your sake, for the sake of everyone we love. Be an MVP for our team.
