Sitting in the bleachers is not
at all comfortable. The seats are hard,
it is cold and windy, and the view is much better on television. But here’s the thing, the excitement is real,
the crowd is experiencing everything at the same time, so it is a shared
excitement. The food is expensive but
tastes authentic. The highs and lows flow
through everyone together. When it is all
over, whether you win or lose, there is a feeling of accomplishment. You’ve done something, even if it is just to watch
from a distance.
Life is different. You can’t just watch it taking place, you’ve
got to suit-up and get into the game. It’s
up to you to become familiar with the rules.
Sure, you might get hurt, but it’s all part of the game. The thing to remember is there is no running
out of bounds. You can’t stop the
clock. When the final whistle blows –
that’s it.
By the way, just in case there is a life after this one, save your ticket stub. It may be good for something. You never know.
