God, Humans and the Olympics

Why do humans believe in a God? Many have asked this question before, and many will keep doing so for eternity. People search to find a deep and profound meaning behind human's faith and hope in a God. The answer is simple though. Humans are always trying to find and answer to things they don't know. That is one of the main reasons science exists as people want to give everything an explanation. Furthermore, a long time ago when science and technology weren't as developed as they are nowadays, people searched to find something that would give our life a reason and a meaning.

This phenomenon can be expressed in different ways, and it only depends in each individuals way to searching happiness. Some people give their life a meaning like being happy, being great entrepreneurs, economists, presidents or even athletes. I use God as an allegory to what is going on today with the olympics because I believe olympic athletes goal in life is to succeed and be the best. Probably, searching the universal truth in a God doesn't compare much to being a gold medalist, but the ideas are rather similar. The author of this article was an Olympic athlete herself, but she didn't feel the same ambition and passion for being best, or maybe she doesn't now as she did once before. People have to comprehend the human nature is very eccentric and complicated. Even men don't understand their own race very well. For instance, humans are greedy and have a compulsive need to know everything. The same thing happens to ambition. People want to be greedy and show off their talent. but they wont stop until they are the very best. It really shouldn't be that shocking.

Nonetheless, in what species do you think The Hunger Games were based on? Cats? No. The book might be fictional and it's events might be as well, but is very possible for something like that to occur. Even if it did happen, I wouldn't be surprised.  I believe this is a work of fiction that conveys the truth behind the human race and the potential of evil it carries. Had humans had never been so cruel and evil throughout history and events such as World War Two would have happened, there wouldn't be stories about such level of gruesome human actions. Nevertheless, many people tend to portray people as incapable of hurting flies when they don't realize the potential of cruelty they carry. This is the reality,and people shouldn't try to hide it or paint it with pretty colors.  Nevertheless, the olympics are a business and have always been. I beg to question: what is not a business nowadays? People profit around the world by about everything. Do you think blogger.com isn't making profits regarding our innocent AP Language blogs?

Our world rotates around money and the economy, greed and ambition, cruelty and "inhumanity" so people shouldn't act as surprised when they learn about the crude reality of humans. The olympics is a way people profit from the achievements of others, just like the FIFA World Cup is an economic investment too. People must accept humans are a truly peculiar species because hiding reality and the truth leads nowhere. I agree with what the author of the article says, but there is no need to make it so dramatic because for a long time this has been human's reality. The Hunger Games are really cruel, but they aren't that cruel in comparison to what men are capable of, and there is where I disagree with the author because she is comparing something already crude to something just a tad obscurer.
