says the ultimate frisbee player.
It's funny to notice how all the crises that have been occurring in the past few years have been increasingly drawing the scattered independence of the nations of the world together. Globalization as a result of earthquakes, floods, economic crises, revolutions, murders, and more? Yet even as the aid pours out [of the fraying pockets] of well-meaning nations, the disasters don't seem to cease; there is a new crisis on the other side of the globe that desperately needs attention. And then for some, the world may be as flat as it was in the pre-Socratic era of history. There is nothing past the horizon, and they remain wrapped up in their own personal affairs, oblivious (some consciously) to the plights of nations around them. Am I beginning to sound like a cynic? It's difficult not to.
