It’s A Beautiful Game

It’s A Beautiful Game.

And because it’s a game, we have the freedom to enjoy it. To eke out all the possibilities it presents without fear of reprisal. To a certain extent we get to choose who we play with. And though in some ways we get what we’re given, we also get to make our own rules. Lots of freedom. And a fair degree of responsibility.

I like the phrase “first do no harm” that originates from ancient Greek medical practises. It strikes me as a useful first rule to apply to life. Our own life, the lives of others, and the life of the planet we live on.

But because there is no external rule giver (even the rules that are allegedly provided by a God seem to have the very clear stamp of human interference) people can choose to do harm. Many do. We all do at some point or other.

So maybe it’s truer to say that it could be a beautiful game. For everyone.

Perhaps the aim of the game might be to create that beauty.
