Assalaam walaikum,
Sister Revert you are correct. I am not going to watch the world cup. I could not care less.
I am going to watch the Celtics vs. Lakers. I can only speak for myself. I was a sports fanatic. I was a swimmer for health reasons and gave that up because I can not find a swimming pool for women only or times for women only. And the last time I jumped into a river it was pointed out to me that I was swimming with snakes that are not good. I limit my time..but I love a good game.
I can only write that I do try to do good deeds. Human suffering comes in various degrees. And yes our time is limited. ( I am scared to look into the mirror). Sometimes just watching a game is a respite from suffering. Sometimes watching something stupid reenergizes you to continue the battle, so to speak.
When I was younger I would be thrilled by the heartthrobs. The long haired European soccer playboy was never a heartthrob for me. I was taken by the tall dark handsome types..i.e. basketball players and football players.
But to redeem myself...I actually love the sports. I enjoy the movements of grace and power. I think to myself as small as I am I have no atleticism myself. I watch the control of movement. In pure physics it is amazing.
So sweet sister have patience with us..we are like little children at recess during a boring school day. When the bell rings we will come back and be more attentive to our duties.
And for my soccer loving brothers and sisters may the best team win. Enjoy.
I am going to eat junk food and watch my Cletics win.
