I agree. People are much too soft. These kids nowadays don’t know a true winner’s mentality, you see when my kid’s baseball team doesn’t get first place, I take him home and whip him with my belt, my wife isn’t fine with it but I say it builds character, but of course my kid doesn’t say anything, he doesn’t cry or scream, he just…stares at me, mouthing words instead of saying them. I have no clue what he’s saying so who cares. But you know I think it really builds character, like how everytime he’s at a game I’m a bit rambunctious, I’m the kind of parent that yells and hollers and that’s fine, but sometimes the umpire gets mad and asks me to leave and eventually the police are called and when they ask me where my kid is and I can’t seem to find him and they keep putting their hands on my shoulder and quietly asking me to go home and I don’t know why he must have just went to the bathroom or something cause he always sits in the backseat on the carride home and I try and talk to him but he just keeps telling me it wasn’t my fault which is a really odd thing for a kid to say like of course it’s my fault and i don’t appreciate that tone so I spend the next hour whipping myself and crying and why does the barrel of this gun look so shiny and where are my wife and kids it’s been 6 months and oh well my kid has a game tomorrow I can’t wait. Anyway, that’s my opinion on participation trophies.
Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only truth.
