Took me nearly
a week to write something again! Anyways, a random fact… I don’t really know
one, which is sort of a random fact. Well, okay, not really.
Last week,
the whole of The Netherlands was shocked. Some teenagers just kicked an assistant
referee to death. It was terrible news. I’m really wondering about why anyone
would do such an idiotic thing. I am a volleyball referee myself, luckily not
afraid to get killed though, but I can imagine that some referees are actually
too frightened to come up the field and to do their job. It’s just… Awful. I
hope everyone will be able to forget this incident and that the boys who did
this will get punished badly. And hereby, I also want to give my full
compassion.
But okay.
That’s not really what I wanted to talk about right now. I wanted to talk about
what love is according to me, and what it means to say “I love you”.
If you ask
me, love is a much bigger way of liking. Liking is really easy, because something
just has to be 'good'. But loving is way harder. To love, you need something
really special. Or someone of course. That is what makes true love so special,
it can’t simply work. You shouldn’t say: “There is only love when it works”,
because that isn’t true. Love should be there, because love is something special.
And by saying
“I love you”, you should mean: “You are so special to me and I couldn’t live
without you”. And the phrase “I love you” mayn’t be misused. So think about
saying “I love you” before you actually say it. It is too precious to be
misunderstood.
Okay,
just wanted to tell you that.
Love is
special. Keep it that way.
Byebye!
Ps. if “you”
are reading this, I just want you to know that I love you!
I didn't know you were a volleyball ref. How do you handle it if someone vocally disputes one of your calls? Have you ever kicked someone (player/spectator) out of a match?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLuckily they do not get mad at my decissions too often! But when they do, I usually stay calm and explain why I did what I did. Of course I get quite nervous when such a thing happens, but I am able to handle it normally spoken!
VerwijderenAnd to answer the second question, no I have not! Pretty logical as I usually lead matches of people aged 14/15, so they do not get angry that quickly yet, including their parents. At their current age and their level of volleyball it is more important to have fun.
