Lately, I’ve been seeing posts regarding the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and the Olympic torch relay route, since the participation of drag queens in this global event caused a lot of commotion. The whole world expresses its opinion about this in the social media, with the “woke” term to be continually used.
The other day though – within all this internet mayhem – I
caught myself thinking about the Ekecheiria, namely the Olympic Truce. Normally,
during the Olympic Games, there is a ceasefire. All wars and conflicts stop, and
all people around the world are invited to participate in a celebration of
life, whereby they acknowledge their very existence and give prominence to
their mental and physical abilities as well as develop and improve them. Essentially,
this participation is an ode to Know Thyself, through which the human perceives
their strengths – both physical and mental – and promote the importance of
togetherness, since unity is what makes us grow and evolve – both individually
and collectively.
In ancient Greece, there were 33 sports (including theatre
and rhetoric), as many as the protocols of a true Democracy and the vertebrae that
compose our spine, which is the main support bone structure of our body. This
number depicted in our very bodies, as well as in the foundation of Democracy
and the Olympic Games, showed that there is harmony and congruence to
everything, and nothing is just a mere coincidence. This harmony is basically a
prerequisite for the growth of societies and our very physiology that we have
to respect and nurture.
Unfortunately, humans decided to tamper with this number and
not only. They even tampered with the symbol of the Olympic Games which
consists of seven circles, as shown in the image below. They decided to enter a
dark path and insult their very existence as well as the environment they live
in.
That’s why, we have to go back and search the reason of the
Olympic Games and the purpose they serve. Only then, will we be able to fix all
this, cause otherwise, humanity will face its worst nightmare. When humans
acknowledge the true nature of the Olympic Games, they will instantly recognize
the truth of their very existence.
Stop believing and start knowing.
Stop arguing and start searching.
The Truth is the Truce.
