Philosophical Humility (David Wilson)
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/watch-david-wilson-say-a-tearful-and-heartfelt-goodbye-to-the-nfl-232828592.html
Every time we turn on the news we get hammered with some of the most spoiled, arrogant, obnoxious, self serving celebrity brats imaginable. The Biebers, the Kardusians, some young quarterback for the Browns, and many more of whom their names escape me, because I never pay it all much attention. These shallow minded ‘stars’ had everything handed to them in life and end up precisely being why there are more horse’s asses than horses.
David Wilson also had everything handed to him in life from good parents, good schools, personal support from so many so often so strongly. And yet this individual clearly tried his best to repay the many kindnesses from so many. It is sad his career is abruptly ended, but his ability to use all this help from others to become a better person himself is going to pay this young man rewards that will enable him to lead a contented life. No one can give you contentment, wealthy parents often try to do that for their kids, money can't buy you contentment (ask Donald Trump), personal power cannot, etc. Contentment always comes from within, and David Wilson clearly understands that.
Well, he gets his one day in the national spotlight, but not the last time to feel good about himself in life. We, however, are stuck with Bieber and the Kardusians (sp), Lady Gadiva (sp) etc. But fair is fair, and they are all stuck with themselves too.
