The Olympic games --- a gathering of nations and its people in display of their collective spirit in sport competition. This despite all the turmoil going on all over the world. That should be a positive story about how nations and people can live and work together in peace and for the common good.
How can this mass of humanity in the games get along so well despite the various difference in background and etc? They show genuine enjoyment about being together and sharing the same stage. How come world leaders, including our president can't get along as well to work for the common good. One gets the idea if it were left to the people to run the worlds countries we would not have the problems we have today.
Why do our leaders commit these men and women to wars over ideology and other lame excuses to show how tough they are. The bottom line is that our leaders are not problem solvers. They take advantage of their positions and try to impose their own will on others. World leaders don't withhold their people from the Olympic games because of their differences, on the contrary, they promote the games. So why not promote the same Olympic relationships among our leaders?
Leaders of the world would do well to rethink their attitudes and always have the well being of their people in mind when approaching problems. Leave your ego's at home and think about the people.
