i must be high, to root for ricky williams.

true, ricky williams is a professional football player in the NFL. He plays a game that many young kids dream of doing professionally when they reach adulthood. when he enters the arena, people scream his name, cheering fanatically. the people that cheer for ricky williams cheer for various reasons. some people root for the man because they want marijuana legalized. some people root for him because they want to see a grand show (after all, they are paying). some people are even legitimate fans of his team. i root for ricky williams success on the field because i identify with his struggle, a struggle which most times is undefined. in my opinion, mr. williams was on a search for the answers that satisfies ones soul and gives them validity to continue the desperate struggle commonly called life. sure, that validity can be found for some in overwhelming public or private success, or through the accumulation of some godforsaken measurable amount of wealth, both of which mr. williams has received. he has set records and achieved personal accomplishments that anyone could be proud of. what is it that should truly make him happy, or give him the will to thrive?i think mr. williams was looking for self-fulfillment by satisfaction of placement in relation to his true destiny. in order to get there, one must do a reverse itinerary and identify where the true destiny lies.

sometimes i think it is the search that keeps us willing to thrive. the best thing you can give a man who has everything is a wish list. when everything that you could ever want is at your beck and whim, what is there to reach for? the unfamiliar is truly amazing, yet, the more i discover, the less i wish i was exposed to. when i make it to eldorado, i will probably catch the first midnight train to georgia...
