This is another fantastic and excellently crafted piece delving into one of today's most relevant topics: sports. Sports promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being and positive social and cultural change. In a way, skilled athletes, like artists, help advocate for love, peace, human rights, and global equality. Some sports, such as boxing, involve harming one another only for entertainment rather than survival or self-defense, which are considered unjustifiable acts of violence, regardless of the pursuit of glory or gold medals.
Due to our obsessive desire to win, we honor and praise our athletes not for their moral integrity and courage but for the many medals and victories they brought to our favorite teams. For example, some famous players are egoistic, racist, and supportive of genocides against innocent children. They are enslaved by greed and shamefully lack passion and loyalty to their teams or nations. They are willing to sell themselves for whoever pays more, similar to slavery during ancient times.
Like Zeus, the ancient Greek and Roman Olympian God was praised and worshiped not for his wisdom or moral virtues but because of the fear instilled by his evil power. Zeus's actions were driven by darkness, paranoia, and fear of losing his dominion over humans. To remain in power, he did everything to reduce the population, including orchestrating natural disasters, spreading diseases and hunger, and instigating civil wars, which seems relevant and inspiring for the current narcissistic leaders in the modern world. Apollo is one of the Olympian deities and the patron of homosexuality; due to his compulsive obsessions, he couldn't endure rejection. And despite his extraordinary talents, he was a women rapist, similar to his father, Zeus.
When the ancient Greeks realized their Goddess or leaders' darkness, greed, selfishness, and psychosis, they developed Stoicism. Stoics viewed Socrates as a role model and adopted his ideas to suppress inner rage, fears, aggression, and violence, protest against injustice, and not accept fatalism. Socrates called for questioning everything for positive social change. His views threatened the status quo in several ways and led him to death by the unjust judgment of corruption and impiety.
Our current misinterpretation, distortion, and manipulation of this philosophy, which are done mainly through oppressors to fulfill their agenda, have resulted in widespread emotional numbness, detachment, and the acceptance of fatalism, hindering any positive social or cultural change. Instead of inspiring hope and dreaming for a brighter future, we have confined ourselves to our comfort zones by twisting the primary meaning of their sayings.
For example, Epicurus's quote, "Not to spoil what you have by desiring what you don't have." This quote initially referred to "Non-stopping greed" and an insatiable, never-ending desire to acquire more of something, like money or possessions, regardless of already having enough, essentially a relentless pursuit of wealth with no sense of satisfaction or limit; it implies a person who is always wanting more, even if it means harming others or compromising their ethics to get it. But he never meant to prevent us from dreaming, seeking happiness, or hoping for a better tomorrow as our manipulators twisted.
Women in ancient Greece had no rights to participate in politics or sports. Today, human rights allow any woman to participate in boxing and combat games in the Olympics, and ironically, by the name of gender equality and human rights, any man inhumanly can beat a woman as the world watches. They are not only legalizing violence against women but making it an enjoyable entertainment tool for our "psychopaths." Due to our delusional disorder, and fake women's rights, we are willing to support any oppressive system that funds bombing, torture, rape, stillbirth, abortion, and displacement of other women who belong to different races, low-income countries, or religions.
Their deceptive notion of equality hypnotized us and captivated our attention while overlooking the millions of women refugees who were displaced from their homes and countries between 2011 and 2024 due to conflicts eternalized or supported by these authoritarian, unjust systems. These women living in camps face ongoing threats of femicide, trafficking, gender-based violence, forced abortion, and suicide.
Sadly, in ancient Greek mythology and during darker periods of history, women were often more dignified than they are today. We no longer adhere to their false human rights, democratic values, and ideologies. We no longer need their permission to speak. Instead, we should focus on reclaiming our dignity, as the King once stated: "One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized, cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered."
