Tokyo 2020 (2021) Summer Olympic Games

 It was Friday morning when hubby and I watched the Opening Ceremony of the TOKYO 2020 SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES. Tokyo 2020 in all the streamlines and banners but the events unfold this year July 2021. 

July 23, 2021 - August 8, 2021. 

I did not see the very initial opening of the ceremony. I happened to watch on our TV screen, the parade of athletes, the parade of Nation (the countries the athletes represent for the Olympic games). Of course the OLYMPIC GAMES aim is simply the traditional purpose of PARTICIPATION. Winning the Olympic Medals is a plus and rewards of achievements and accomplishments for hard work and the great effort each team, each athlete who devoted their valuable time to train themselves despite of all the hindrances, the hurdles and difficulties. What made this Olympic Game different from the rest of the games? The pandemic that crippled the economy, the political and livelihood of billions of people around the world has cancelled this world's traditional relay of the OLYMPIC GAMES,  for many centuries since it had its beginning in ancient Greece. However, OLYMPIC GAMES is about its original, traditional theme of being FASTER, HIGHER, STRONGER but who is WISER? Yeah, who is wiser and witty in this game? The participants of the game or those athletes who wont participate because COVID-19 is stronger?

Everybody has a mind of his or her own. It is for the athlete's wise reasoning whether they play or not play for the Olympic Game. 

I am not a game player for the Olympic Games. I am just a "watcher." Television is our medium of what's happening. What TV Stations and their anchors plus their camera men are our "watchful eyes and keen observant of the main event."

I'm glad that Philippines has representatives for the Olympic Games for Tokyo 2021.

FASTER, HIGHER, STRONGER

TOGETHER

I hope in the next Olympic Games they have to include WISER.

The Kabuki traditional Japanese drama/dance/singing was not shown as the camera was focused mainly on the female pianist.

As of this writing, July 24, 2021: Several Olympic athletes had received gold medals such as China, Italy, Japan, South Korea, etc. 

Hey, before I forget, IMAGINE, the song written and sung by the late John Lennon has been a part of the Opening ceremony with different famous artists singing the song from other countries  that include Keith Urban, John Legend, etc. Yep, it's Japan's Olympic Games and they include foreign artists to be included in their Olympic Games representation.

Why? It has something to do with the word SOLIDARITY.

Gold or Silver?

If silence is golden and you love to talk then you probably love SILVER! Jesus Christ asked for SILVER know why?

You know the answer? Maybe the water is so dirty and He needs silver to cleanse and clean the water so that everyone can have a bath or shower. You know...

Or He needs electricity and silver is a component for that LIGHT that He needs so that everyone can SEE HIM. So that you can see when everyone else is blind. When you're so vain, you're so blind.

SILVER for water, electricity, light, photography and SILVER for money. You cannot use gold for money in coinage because it's soft and heavy. That's why gold is divided in different K's.

SILVER or GOLD? For jewelry GOLD has more weight in VALUE. It has more credibility when it comes to wearing it as a jewelry. Most of all GOLD is more expensive. It doesn't change its color while SILVER, few of these silver changed its color once water is present on its surface. GOLD is old and SILVER is new. However SILVER's value is on the face of the MIRROR. You don't like looking at a monster in front of a mirror without silver on it.
