i guess everybody deserves to get emotional once in a while.
The Sick Puppies- All the Same"Wonder why
Black or white
If I close my eyes
It's all the same."
when "i close my eyes, it's all the same."
when we all close our eyes...what'll differentiate me from you? nothing. maybe the rhythm at which we breathe? but we all know that our hearts are pumping in the same way- the muscles contract and relax, while the valves control the backflow of blood. with that lub-dub sound. what makes us different?...
that sounds quite random, isn't it? but it's actually quite relavent to me. i've been asked many times why i don't want to continue to play sports competitively. i dont' know what's the difference. i can't see the meaning in it. why push myself up the very edge of my limits, just to obtain that medal? it's undeniable that training with your team will leave behind many beautiful memories of which cannot be replaced. but in the end, we're all the same- whether we play competitively, or not. "it's about the love of the game"- can we love the game without playing it competitively? yes, but what becomes the point of training like your life depends on it? what about individual races? i've run, won and lost. that feeling of immense satisfaction, a push in your self-esteem, and the support you get from your friends are what you've won. but it wears off. and it becomes an empty cup. just a medal. just a trophy.
so tell me. give me another side of the story, will you?
