Life is a boxing match!

The world is full of comparable variables and nothing escapes this continuum, even god!

Little do we know that even our lives are entwined in this inexorable burden. The other day I was watching a beautiful movie on boxing and invariably started thinking about the movie... Think about this...have we ever thought why we enjoy games/sports so much?

Since the times the Romans initiated the show of bloody GLADIATORS till the time the gentleman's game came into picture. The more dangerous the game, the more entertaining it is. Why? After all we are a civilized breed. We feel a certain satiation when a player goes down and feel the exhilaration seeing the winner receiving the accolades. We are neither

the winner nor the looser, then why this attachment, why the hullabaloo?

I tell you why?

Because when we play or see a game we compare it with our lives.. more so on a subconscious level. We compete, we do not want to loose, we fight hard...and we feel the thrill outa it! And then I made my own comparison of life with something....

Life is like a boxing match!

The world beats you hard, you are no one....
You bleed, you wince and you even fall down on your knees..
But a fighter takes the punches on the face, tastes his own blood,
smiles at the pain.
Every time he is on his knees he remembers that this can't be the end.
He beats the countdown yet again and survives the round, just to come back harder and stronger...

Captured the real essence of life very nicely. A boxing match, n for a change, ur on both sides, the winner n the loser, u choose. Life gives u the obstacles, which is for you to cross. Cross it or not, u still live on, but that's what decides how u live ur life. U chose to overcome those obstacles n make the best of what u do have. Thats what winners do, take situations n turn em around in their favor. Good work bro. Ur belief n determination never fails to amaze me.
