The title really says it all. The idea that we can set aside the disputes, the wars, the prejudices, and join together in a spirit of healthy competition is pretty fantastic. And, even though the “medal race” is in the back of everyone’s mind, what is more prevalent is the appreciation of the aesthetics of sport; the strength, grace, and artistry displayed in every event. The olympics emody an aspect of our nature that I can’t pin down, one which I don’t think that I’m supposed to. So, despite the atrocius dressing habits of Bob Costas, keep on watching those olympics!
