The Olympic and the Olympians.
The world may not know exactly how an Athlete were trained before becoming an Olympian. There is a fine line in this issue as we look at the nature of the Olympic. This Olympic has a price for everyone who will compete and be elected as one of the many great athletes in the history of our world.
But there is a huge constraint and great stress involved in it. The invidudal who will compete were among the most trained and most durable entity whom the world believe is suitable enough to withstand the pressure of winning. Every athelete will compete against one another- do or die just to win Gold, Silver, Bronze and the lesser prizes as well.
What about those who didn't win? Will they be considered as an outcast and less powerful or not really good for the competition? Will they not be rewarded for not winning? of course, they will never get anything, but rather will be subjected to a more rigorious trainings for future competition either in the same venue or some other sports competition.
This is the Human Culture and this is the trouble of this Earth. The world is so conditioned to believe that everything from the smallest to the greatest - every citizen of this planet should compete with one another in all areas of expertise. This is why the world is not advancing because of greed and selfishness. Our understanding of Sports were exclusively identified as ' Competition' and someone must win the highest and be considered the greatest. The individual should prove to be the most outstanding above all the rest.

Is that person SuperHuman? with super human strength? Does that person has differences from the rest of us? It could be the trainings. But are those trainings were base on ethics? or it is some kind of tortures?
Those athletes were not living a normal life like the rest of us. They are living a rigid and rigorious life. It is a terrible sight to watch how an athletes were trained. They will say:" if you want to win then you must be the greatest!" Is that a correct way to look at sports? Shall we say that it could be an abuse? or these athletes were being abused?

Would the Olympic be a venue for a ' Unification Event of The World'? Can it be considered a place where we all citizen of this planet gather to be as One Family? Shall we all look into this possibility? Can the Olympic be an event for us to recognize individual potentials rather than compete with one another?
Can all the participating athletes be all considered great? with no need to choose who among the greatest of them all? Yes, they will be there to participate -but can we all be re-oriented with the fact that all these athletes from all over the world will be there not to compete but to attend and participate alone without choosing whose the greatest among them?
Can all these athletes gets medals? because they all participated? Would that idea be acceptable?
Can the Olympic committee realized that to remove the competitive mentality among the world now and destroy the nature of selfishness and exclusiveness - there could only be one solution and that is to transform our perception of sports. Then we can all have a "PEACEFUL CELEBRATION OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES". Is that an acceptable formula?
