We now have to simply accept that Stefanos Tsitsipas' worldwide successes in Worldwide Tennis are the results of, firstly, the sacrifices of his mother and father, secondly, his expertise and the individuals who helped him and thirdly his personal persistent each day tiring pursuits and self-discipline.
By Seraphim Kykkotis of Zimbabwe
He’s the very best athlete in Males's Tennis that Greece has produced up to now (in Girls, Maria Sakkari).
Nobody approves of his indecent habits in the direction of his mother and father, even publicly, and the primary one who’s upset and doesn’t approve of such ingratitude and ingratitude is Stefanos. In spite of everything, he declared it publicly and apologized. He doesn't even consider that he has reached the purpose of giving the impression that he doesn’t respect his mother and father, the people who find themselves his life and existence.
Lastly, the testimony of the Holy Bible is confirmed for every individual, the place Saint James the Aelphotheus in his Roman Catholic Epistle in chapter 3 clearly emphasizes the character of our language.
8. However no man can tame the tongue: an unstoppable evil, however a lethal beast. 8. However not one of the individuals can tame the tongue. It’s unbridled evil, stuffed with lethal poison.
To be sincere in some unspecified time in the future all of us ultimately have comparable experiences and incidents, to not point out on a regular basis, amongst us, in our household, in our work, in our social gatherings and naturally in our sports activities actions. World Champion Serena as soon as advised the referee she was going to kill him, after which she didn't bear in mind how that phrase escaped her. What issues is that when our tongue slips we apologize. It's not the tip of the world. That's what Stefanos did too, and even in public, and I'm certain that with continuous tears he did the identical to his mother and father. Dad and mom at all times hug their youngsters even once they “fall”.
If we change into so extreme with those that dwell solely on his indecent public habits and don’t take into account his public apology, by the identical standards, most households ought to be damaged up, in addition to the sleek functioning of all of the necessary establishments that individuals ought to they’re collectively for our frequent good, like for instance the Parliaments of all of the nations of the world that should shield their nations and their individuals with accountable laws.
The financial worth as a precedence of our training and of right this moment's society mustn’t stand in the best way of emphasizing the greatness of the Greek Spirit and giving weight to the ethical values of learn how to study to stay collectively, as prior to now within the troublesome years we lived as a nation in our historic course, when every little thing was “overshadowed by the horror and teased by slavery” (Dionysios Solomos).
I bear in mind in my pupil years on the College of Athens, our blessed Professor Ioannis Kornarakis, who did particular research, along with Theology, Psychopathology and therapeutic medical functions on the College Psychiatric Clinic of Innsbruck, Christian Pedagogy and Pastoral Care on the College of Strasbourg and Depth Psychology and pastoral care of the mentally sick on the Roman Catholic Faculty of the College of Munster, analyzed for us the ingratitude of the ungrateful servant of the well-known gospel passage who was given thousands and thousands by his Lord and who, as an alternative of being the identical philanthropist and merciful to his fellow males, ran to drown his servant for a small and insignificant quantity. He characterised this habits because the psychological syndrome of “white guilt”. The ungrateful man, when he doesn’t admit his failure in humility and repentance, initiatives their failure to different individuals (just like the projector) and is able to “suffocate” and behead them, “kill” them. I'm not saying this for Stefanos, nor for his mother and father, I'm saying this for all those that publicly, with their feedback, ran to “suffocate” him and behead him.
From a psychological viewpoint, I may say, with out being certain, that Stefanos was unconsciously in search of a chance to “bind” a wound that marked his life, when once more uncontrolled, he publicly cursed the one who gave start to him, his mom . Unconsciously, cursing his father in an indecent approach, it’s as if he was attempting to persuade her, that he doesn’t love his father greater than his mom as a result of she is Russian and his father is Greek, for Stefanos they’re his mother and father and he loves them and each of them the identical. So on this pointless household journey all of us want the understanding and anticipate to see the kinship with the successes of Stefanos. Those that know Stefanos' household know their unity and their love for one another. We can’t dwell on a number of unhealthy moments of language to evaluate the greatness of an individual, when certainly our actions are extra necessary than our “ungrateful phrases”. Ultimately, the pointless household journey of Stefanos may go positively for all of us, after we open our mouths to consider what to say, or to indicate understanding after we hear ungrateful and unforgiving phrases from individuals we’ve benefited, to think about them as victims of unconscious psychological mechanisms from DNA of a few of our distant ancestors. The issue is sophisticated when there’s ignorance and when those that are led astray don’t apologize, that’s, when they’re unrepentant of their errors.
I personally admire the reactions of Stefanos' mother and father, who with their silence, tolerance, understanding and love are by his facet in his troublesome moments and at all times help him, as a result of, as accountable mother and father, their happiness is happiness of their youngsters.
In the end, the lyrics of our nice Poet Antonis Samarakis apply to Stefanos and to all of us.
NEVER SAY TO YOURSELF “IT'S LATE”
by Antonis Samarakis
Don't ever say to your self “it's too late” even for those who've fallen low and for those who're unhappy now, you've been in deep ache.
And if every little thing appears darkish and abandoned, you might be left, by no means say to your self “it's too late” – you hear it – it doesn’t matter what.
Don't ever say these two determined phrases to your self, and for those who acquired concerned with evil, you’re going to get out of it once more.
By no means!… it's by no means too late, you could consider it and with religion in your coronary heart flip to Him.
The one who robbed him of all his sorrows as a result of he had a believing coronary heart he known as to Him.
“It's too late” so don't say, it doesn’t matter what occurs to you, all you must do is pray to Him and He’ll instantly resurrect you.
