The beautiful game


I’ve just seen the game between Liverpool FCand AC Milan in the Champions League final. AC Milan won 2-1 in the end. As some of you know I am a huge Liverpool FC fan, and have been since I was about 10 years old. That’s 20 years of passion, laughter, tears, hope and glory. A lot has happened to both Liverpool FC and myself in the last 20 years. I am disappointed of the result tonight, but I am not down and beaten like I used to be in the old days. Maybe the game is just a game after all.

Overall I would say the last 20 years has been happy years, not so much for Liverpool FC, but for myself. In all my wins and losses I can still see the man in the mirror and praise him of a job well done. I’m proud of that guy. I know that he loses with me and he wins with me, just like all the Liverpool FC fans out there. It’s great to belong to a community, a place where your opinion matters, a place where you can share your joys and woes.

So Liverpool FC lost the final, well its ok. The future is very bright indeed for both Liverpool FC and myself. I have everything I ever wanted, my life is good, really good. My love Kei, my friends, my family, my job, myself. Those are the cold facts if you will, a testament to my happiness. They are all there in my life, to guide me, to help me. How can I be unhappy because of a game of football when I have all that?

It may still be a beautiful game, but not as beautiful as the game of life. Take a thing like love, the love between me and Kei. The beautiful Kei is part of my life, and it’s not a game, it’s real and tangible. Like two attractors, we are pulled towards each other during strange events in the universe. There’s no need to ask the questions, because we already have the answers we need. Tomorrow is another beautiful day. Rise and shine people!
