"Sporting Pursuits"
SPORT
I love sport. In all its forms.
I guess it stems from the knowledge that those who participate in sports are seeking something beyond the mundane, the ordinary. They leave the comfort of the couch, the fast-food lifestyle, the tv dinners.
They test their limits and push the boundaries of what they can achieve further. They endure pain, discomfort, challenging conditions, the risk of grevious bodily harm (or in some cases, death). All this for what? a medal? a trophy?? a commemorative plaque on a wall?!?
No, I think their true reward lies in the fact that they get to experience life in all its fullness. Which is all that anyone can hope for, really.
Nothing else matters
