The Reclusive Pilgrim

This a blog of my thoughts on politics, religion, philosophy. I am a reclusive pilgrim searching for the meaning of life and the higher power of goodness, in this world . My desire is to share my thoughts of what I have discovered through experience.

I have such a wide variety of interests including what might happen after worst case scenario's, such as what might happen after an ET attack, and the future of humanity. I also consider issues of politics and religion on my blogs and on other social media platforms.

The Virtue of Sport:

Sport is an activity that is, at its is base, a noble, and virtous activity. It can bring together many different emotions, people,and virtues. It can bring people together in community, it is a great teacher of communication, and team work. It is allso a great teacher of disipline. You need disipline to win. Sport allso promotes good health and fitness of being. Sport looses its virtue when it is played for money. Sport then becomes another form of entertainment, and greed rules the motives of playing sports. America has lost something of its soul when a kid chooses to skip going to colledge and start playing professional basketball, because if the seemingly easy money. Hard work and sacrifice are not virtues promoted to todays youth, who are impoverished, rather the lure of easy mony and fame, and a quick way out of poverty are the lures of prosports. Sometimes the hard road is the better road. Go to colledge, grow up, mature, become a better person then experiance the finer things of life. The Puritan ethic. America has lost the spirit of virtue and it is reflected in not only, in todays youth, and the populairty of prosports, but in every aspect of our culture, and society.
