The Emperor of Trivia

Ronaldo, The New Emperor It is the news in Portugal, the footballer Ronaldo has won a golden football and the country rejoices, after Eusebio died a new emperor is needed, a hero people can look up to, one who can continue the people’s culture.... Football! This, perhaps, is modernity, technology that and instant messages is coming down to a game of football and a TV that has commentators who cannot stop talking about it. The mind appears not to expand as modern skill does, oft it little behind to the days when people asked why rivers tended to run into the ocean, luckily they lacked skills to make rivers run faster by making them straighter shaving off curves and circles.... The reason we live in relative peace has to do what great thinkers thought and wrote about and influenced our imperfect brains, we looked up to the stars and asked questions, a curiosity that made us civilized, but modern mass media made us multicultural and bland. In the end life is a game of soccer, and a football has no corners.
