Sports have been with us pretty much since the begining of our civilization but now became bigger than ever before. Nowdays we can watch a game of football for example that is being played tousands of kilometers away. That's amazing  because we are able to expirience sports like never until now and that's cool. But to me what is cooler is the phenomenon of cheering for sombody or some team. I think it is special because we don't know those people in person, we don't know who they really are like but still, we take time out of our day to spend it watching them compete with others. This is in my opinion the true magic of sports. Not the competition or the fact that you can win something etc. But the fact that it truly unites people from all countries, parts of the globe, from different cultures and religions. It just doesn't have any boundaries and that is what makes it so magical and special.

"This road is too narrow", "Why didn't they build a bigger path for pedestrians here?", "Who designed the centre of this city? There is always so much traffic". I think we all heard or said something along these lines in our lives. We like to complain about the way a city or a town was planned but we don't realise that it isn't the easiest thing to do most of the times. City isn't built at once. Neither it is planned at once. It means that it will always change and will have to be adapted to always changing requirements of the people. For example architects two centuries ago didn't expect that today there will be cars in such big numbers on the streets so it is obvious that the roads built then are not able to handle the modern day challenges. There are more examples like that so I think we should be more forgiving next time we'll be stuck in traffic in the old part of the city. 

As we all know on the first day of September 1939 the second world war began. Every year we celebrate this date and remember all the lives lost because of this horrible time. This year I decided to pay a bit more attention to tv transmissions of the events. After watching few relations on few different tv stations I came to a conclusion that something is very wrong about them. I think all the ceremonies have way too much political influence. What I mean by that is the fact that different parties celebrate by their own and not together how it should be done. Second thing is that instead of just using this time to remember all people who died during the war politicians try to show that they care the most about the anniversary and that they celebrate in better ways than the others. It annoys me because in my opinion this date should be the symbol of unity and bravery of our the nation that was attacked almost 80 years ago and not another chance to get more votes.
