The World Cup: a chance to bond and heal wounds

As you gather for this major sporting event, take a moment to see the opportunity that it brings - a chance to bond and heal wounds. Sport has often been used by humanity as a way of bringing people or tribes together, for settling disputes and building relationships. This major event is no different.

Look at the multitude of countries that are coming together for a single reason. The diversity of nationalities, social groups, ethnicities and sexes are truly inspiring. The single goal, surpassing all other thoughts, fears or beliefs. This is how life can be. This is how humanity can be.

Sport is often viewed as a distraction, but it is, in fact, a great leveller. A safe place where differences can be left to one side and your true worth be seen and indeed shine. As you gather to support your team, to wave your country colours, please take a moment to act kindly towards the opposing side. See them as brother or sister, not enemy or opponent.

For a moment, let yourself see that you are both Human and that is beautiful.

Blessings
