Onique -- a unique opportunity.
The PASSION
Competitive sports, such as Figure Skating, brings out the passion of each individual performer, a unique opportunity (onique) to transcend outside influences, and share something special with others. Of course, there are influences which cannot be overcome, such as travel fatigue, changes in diet, including chemical additives which are no longer present in one's food and drink that one's body and mind are accustomed to, and new substances that one's mind and body have yet to learn to adapt to, to tolerate.
This is also a VALID OBSERVATION when it comes to REAL WORK, especially for those whom travel between jobs, or go from place to place as an extension of their job. Therefore, on the 'day-of-performance,' be it sports, music, arts, entertainment, or work, or just visiting, vacationing, one may not feel their best, may sound differently, look more tired or more vibrant -- these variables are NORMAL.
And cannot be overcome. This is where compassion comes into 'play.' And forgiveness, both of which are also variables. The difference is that these two variables of life, compassion and forgiveness, justice, can be overcome, or, proved.
When I saw Kim Yu-Na skate at the Olympics, I was just as enthralled as any other. It was beautiful skating, a ChampionshipPerformance to be certain. What concerned me is her scores. She didn't skate 'perfect,' there is no such thing. She did nothing particularly more 'oustanding' than any others, yet her scores were highly sensationalistic, super-duper inflated, hyper-inflated. I think it's because she's gorgeous. I think she could have done nothing more than double-axles and crawled around on her hands and knees and still scored the highest, awarded for being 'cute' moreso than anything else. That is not to down-grade her hard work, nor the hard work of her coach, Brian Orsor, whom I am very proud of -- and seeing the fruits of his labor, his passion, on-screen, is far better than foggy windows at a drive-in movie version of 'on-screen' as teenagers. (Remember drive-in movie theaters? Do they still have those?)
That said, (and there's something there only a handful of people in existence will relate to, but the overall is easily understood) -- that Mao Asada broke numerous first-time ever world-records, right there before our eyes, at the Olympics, and it all went unnoticed. She set the bar through her ChampionshipPerformance, and no other score should have been higher.
Then, we have Marai Nagasu's performance, one of the most outstanding competitive performances I've ever seen. Interestingly, at the exact same moment, I had a nose bleed. I didn't know she had until hours later watching the broadcast of her skating. One of those 'strange things.'
The scores that were given were about marketing and emotional-knee-jerk reaction, mindphuking sympathy from the 'consumer.' I don't think it's fare. I don't think it's honest.
Yes, I think Kim Yu-Na is gorgeous, and I love watching her skate -- but she skates like a professional, because she is a professional, and even if it's construed that she is not 'paid-to-skate,' that's a dishonest representation of facts. Even here in this country, the Olympics has been molested into FAKING 'amature competition.' These people are trained professionally, paid to be trained, and even if you claim it's 'private-money,' well, frankly, that's nonsense. It's a tax-write-off -- therefore TAX DOLLARS -- therefore STATE SPONSORED ATHLETICS. And the 'cuter' or more 'sympathy' that can be used in the 'marketing' of products, the higher 'scores.' It's not 'justice,' defies compassion, forgiveness and therefore justice, therefore equality.
It's about the protection of multi-million dollar marketing 'empires' and all the 'credentials' whose jobs are associated with it in one way or another. But notice, it's ChampionshipPerformers, REAL ones, from days gone by, that do the real training -- produce the real athletes.
The Olympics is supposed to be about amature competitive sports. Not "who can produce the cutest, or, sympathy-inducing marketing product." That's prostitution.
Mao Asada did what no woman has ever done before -- repeatedly -- verifiable with one's five-senses, and was not credited for it. I bow to her here and now, acknowledge her ChampionshipPerformance, incredible feats of equality, womanhood, humanity. No score should have been higher.
Marai Nagasu should have scored second.
The same concept applies to the outcome of the men's Figure Skating medals. The Russian, Евге́ний Ви́кторович Плю́щенко, Yevgeny Viktorovich Plyushchenko did what no man has ever done before -- it's not about ONE ELEMENT -- it's the fact that he did all of that, AND those additional elements. That set the 'bar' -- and no score should have been higher. Johnny Weir's performance was as flawless as any I've seen -- filled with the passion, dynamic and outstanding ChampionshipPerformance of true amature competitive sportsmanship -- and he was not credited for it, and all that anybody said about it was that he was 'too gay' (and/or words to that affect, being careful not to use the 'gay' word), therefore discriminated against by perverts fantasizing about what's in his crotch, what they imagine in their own minds he does with his PRIVATES, invading his bedroom in their perverted fantasies, and holding it against him. That's what discrimination truly is. GENDER DISCRIMINATION to be certain, along with many other forms of discriminatory conduct -- a WAR against DECENCY, against compassion, against passion, against justice, against equality.
Think of this a moment: I have a PALM frond on my windshield, which was handed-out for Mass this past Sunday, Palm Sunday. That's the day of REMEMBRANCE, a MEMORIAL to all whom are denied equality, cast-out as 'inferiors/negatives/unworthy's -- by all the 'positive-people' using any excuse to hammer 'negatives' against their merciless 'positive-cross-signs,' using the points of their own hypocritical forked-tongues as NAILS, ideological crucifiXtion, spell it any way you want, it's about the concept, FigurativeCarpentry -- the opposite of love, of justice, of compassion, of proving forgiveness, proving equality, and Palm Sunday is the MEMORIAL of all those whom have been MURDERED in HATE by discriminating 'positives' crucifying 'negatives,' -- for it is the REMEMBRANCE of HowNotToBe that way which is why those Palm fronds are handed out, because you're not supposed to divide into 'positive' groups hating 'negatives,' denying equality to 'negatives,' the same equality one hypocritically demands for one's own selfish-self. For doing so, DIVIDES communities, teams, families, countries, worlds, into ever-increasing numbers of squabbling TRIBES, instead of UNITING 'tribes' through PeaceOnEarth to build HeavenOnEarth as commanded (or at least desired).
We all must prove compassion and equality, forgiveness, justice, through GOOD WORKS, acts of kindness, conveniencing others instead of obstructing others' pursuits of equal opportunities, life, liberty and happiness. What do you conspire today? Who is your target? For what reason? Who have you singled-out in the pathetic-attempt at making yourself-out to 'look' or 'feel' SUPERIOR, proving lack of self-esteem, proving zero respect, proving zero integrity, proving zero compassion, proving zero forgiveness, proving lack of understanding, and so much more about one's insipid desires to obstruct the equal pursuits of others, hinder the lives of others?
I knew a man that I met whom was in his 70's. He told me that when he was in his fifties, he had a very serious heart attack and lost his business, and so much more, lost everything, could no longer work or do anything -- it was a life-altering event for he and his family. He was a career military man, serving and protecting all people equally, defending equality. He could not get disability benefits. It was an endless paperwork maze, a nightmare of paperwork. He was told repeatedly to claim his symptoms were due to Agent Orange Exposure. That's because they deny disability benefits to those claiming it, see. He refused, and was sick, weakened, feeling miserable, and all those paperwork-pushers and Higher-Ed cultists just did one thing: attempt to push paperwork around and make money, faking 'work,' while denying him that opportunity which he'd devoted a lifetime defending.
-- now, these are my words, not his, my description of what he said happened to him; because what they did, was INCREASE STRESS to PREVENT HEALING, to AGITATE him, and then claim he was displaying symptoms of 'mental duress,' and then put him out on a 'section 8' disability.
-- he got his benefits, but at what cost?
-- he couldn't tell anybody about it, because the moment he even tried, they'd open up all those billions of pages of paperwork, FAKE 'work,' now stamped 'mental case,' and discriminate against him. Discriminate against him for a PRIVATE HEALTH CONDITION.
So he was very careful who he told, what he said, how he said it, and to whom he mentioned it. Because those whom invade PRIVATES do so in their perverted MINDS for one reason: to conjure up their own 'spells' of 'confusion,' concocting their own HELLishness, in the pathetic attempt at making themselves-out to 'look' or 'feel' SUPERIOR.
The PASSION is what killed the religious character most-often used to describe discrimination. That PASSION is applicable to every instance of discrimination, globally, just as equally to all whom were as to all whom are and all whom will be, and not just this 'world,' but every conceivable version of 'world', or 'intelligence,' of life itself, the entire HumanityFamily, regardless of language or location or TIME. A literal TIMELESS MESSAGE, a UniversalTheorem, as I have always said, uniting the 'positives' and the 'negatives,' therefore the Epiphany mentioned in scripture is the understanding of the Anti along WITH what one already thinks they know -- merging the two together -- one can't be understood without the other -- or the concept of 'christ' is meaningless, incomplete, punched full of holes -- therefore one must focus more on HowNotToBe -- discussing more of the TimelessMessage in that regards, or we end up with 'dueling god' nonsense, 'devils' and 'gods' fighting each other, which is intentional dumbing-down of the entire 'christ' concept, a 'cartoon-characterization' TOOL used for explanation to illiterate and highly unsophisticated societies.
The sign of the cross is a hate symbol -- it's how the discriminated person is murdered -- it's venerated to REMEMBER HOW NOT TO BE THAT WAY -- how not to discriminate that way -- how not to DIVIDE that way -- how not to concoct excuses to deny equal opportunities, life, liberty and happiness to others, how to engage in crusade-mentality like cults do where 'positives' start passing laws and taxes and fines and punishments against all the 'negatives' they conjure-up in the own MINDS, possessed of 'evil,' brainwashed hatreds.
When encountered, Catholics originally crossed themselves, to identify the MEANness, confirming their understanding of it, to distance themselves from it, recognize the victims of it, and attempt to HEAL it.
Are you?
