Peace rallies, sit-downs, picketing, protesting, petitioning. All have been tried in the name of world change. Problem is we as a world are still waiting on that change where war doesn’t exist and people aren’t dying for their religious beliefs or color of skin. This so called change is merely a wish.
Except for the one month when the violence stops and every nation, ethnicity, race, gender, religion comes together to celebrate that which is World Cup. I think its safe to say that out of any sporting event, including the Olympics, World Cup is the only one that can have this world impact. I would even go so far as to say out of any event worldwide, World Cup is the only one.
So here is to the one month where we can rest easy, watch amazing feats and mind-blowing goals, and hopefully see that life is too short to be fighting with each other. Instead we should be blowing our vuvuzela’s and coming together.
