Sport
Sport is a better peacemaker than politics or religion. What is it about sport that makes it so compelling? How did it become such a pervasive force in modern society, or was it always so? Admittedly, not everyone is a sports fanatic, but its influence on our collective psyche cannot be ignored. Sport has become a metaphor for life. We talk about levelling the playing field, competing for our place, playing by the rules and being good sports. As with sport, life is a game of risk and reward, of scores and penalties, of rules and referees, of winning and losing. We can choose whether to play fair or dirty, whether to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.
— Wayne Visser
