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.
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.
I couldn't agree more. And there are many more dates that we should commemorate together as a nation: 31 August, 4 July, 11 November, 1 August.
OdpowiedzUsuńI haven't really see that parties celebrate on their own. During parade on 11 November for example, there were all of representatives of parties. Not only ruling party. But still, Great moves. Proud of you. Keep it up.
