The Power of Being ONE

Forgot about this in my first post.

Went Kallang to look at peeps train yesterday morning. I know nuts on the dynamics of DB-ing, but I strongly believe the essence of it is same stroke at the exact same angle of the paddle at the synchronised pace. Now, this calls for camaraderie and utmost selflessness, giving ones full commitment to the team even to the extent of giving over-and-on-top of ones capacity.

A good team-sports person is a true team player, a true comrade, one who is dependable to give his/her utmost best in fulfilling the goal of the team. Extending this to the many aspects of life, this person would very well be a good man/woman and this is really what we need in our societies.

Sigh. Time and again, this is something I find so lacking in so many instances in so many groups/organisations. People can go around preaching the importance and need of camaraderie, of cohesiveness, but are merely talks.

I yearn to find at least a group in whatever nature, which I can practise camaraderie, witness camaraderie and harvest the joy it brings.

One day, when everyone realise the good of being ONE, we will not be too far from Utopia - I think.
