Going Through The Motions
09/20/2001 - By George Freeman
In our everyday lives, sometimes the most trivial of things seem monumental. Bowling is one of these things. In the grand scheme of life, bowling is meaningless and essential at the same time. Meaningless because after Tuesday's tragedy, things like bowling have rightfully taken a backseat to the more important issues in our everyday lives. It is essential because it represents a normalcy that we need. The idea behind terrorism is to make you afraid of enjoying the things you love to do, and many of us really didn't feel like bowling after what had happened. However, leagues still went on in many parts of the world. The choice of whether or not to bowl is a personal one, and there are no right and wrong answers to it. There is nothing wrong with just going through the motions in league, even if it is to simply get back some sense of normalcy back into your life. After all, bowling, as is every other sport, is just a game. It's most important asset is that it makes us a part of who we are.
Our thoughts and prayers are with those whose lives were changed forever on September 11th, 2001.
