Sports and Family

Now that Kam and I were spending more time together, I felt more at ease. Of course, I was still worried about my parents, but my advice from Tani Koru and training with Naseden, and meditating with Kam had really helped me move on. I was playing Zoccair again, and I found that my Martial Arts training had made me more, coordinated and focused. Of course, that’s not what the 6G Zoccair team is all about. We’re about goofing of, and messing with the other teams. So I played down my aptitude a bit. Heaven forbid I alienate my teammates. We had that drugs scare recently, and I’ve decided that intense involvement in sports just isn’t worth it.

Back home, there were these groups of people that just lived Zoccair. There are more people than you think. It’s like, their reason to make it to the end of the week. They’ll be keeping track of the international games, and if the national Atlantia team wasn’t playing, they’d go find a local game. It was sad, really. I always joked to my friends back in Atland, that if a transport carrying the Atlantia National Team ever, like, crashed, killing them all, there’d be blackouts and fires and economic downturns because all of the people in these sectors would be so depressed they wouldn’t be able to get out of bed in the morning.

Yeah, so I try not to take things too seriously out on the field. People used to give me a lot of crap for goofing off, but I can’t think of a better way of having fun. It reminds me of my two little brothers. It’s kind of the family way. I have to believe my family are too stubborn for anything too bad happen to them. My father may have been depressed about our relatives dying, but I have to believe he will rise to the challenge should our immediate family be put in danger. This is what moves me forward.
