Darned that Covid a spoil sport: Gladiators of old fought in Roman Arenas, Christians
were ravaged by animals for the entertainment of the Emperors of Rome; fast forward
two thousand years, man still take pleasure in the sufferings of others, though I watch a lot
of the fake Wrestling on T.V., I know its fake but good exhibition. At Vigie Beach some guys
dug holes, collected male beach crabs and watch how they ripped each other apart. This is
the classic mentality of primitive man. I love sports and I used to participate in many, and my
favourite was Swimming – Water Polo. Now I watch on screen & read battles in ‘Old Testament’
