Athletics as a form of unification in the name of peace

When I heard of the attack in Brussels my first reaction was heartbreak, but what scared me the most was the apathy I felt.
My heart hurt for the people.
My heart hurt for their loved ones, but what absolutely terrified me was the “Yeah, that’s about right” thought that crossed my mind.

It’s like this happens so often now that we’re not even surprised anymore. That’s what scares me. I texted some friends that “I’m so tired of this (expletive)(expletive)”, and I am. God, I am.
I guess what this does is it brings us together.
