Their athletes do!
After a lifetime of preparing for a spot on their country’s Olympic team, they are chosen.
The big moment comes when they either win or lose in their event.
If they win, there is great jubilation, rightly so.
If they lose, they walk over and hug the athletes from other countries who beat them.
Isn’t that really quite amazing and honorable?
They momentarily set aside their overwhelming sense of disappointment in order to congratulate the victor.
If these young athletes can “Take The High Ground,” why can’t their governmental leaders?
The great irony about wars is after each war, the previously adversaries do business with one another.
Vietnam’s first electric car company (VinFast) is opening its U.S. Headquarters and will have showrooms in California.
After a bitter and costly war, we have a new auto company opening by a previous adversary!
So, I repeat my original question: Why don’t countries hug one another?
If not today, when?
