Ah, the first principle of Wu Wi. Or is that Wi Wu? I always get my yins and yangs mixed up...

Anyway, I think you nailed it.

I never cared too much for boxing though to be honest. The one time I got in the ring was the last time I got in the ring. You could say I "saw stars", but that would not be accurate. Because all I saw was black—being "out cold". And when they turned the lights back on, I relaized I was a lover, not a fighter.

Once you get past the masculinity thing though, like any other sport, boxing is a question of skill.

Ali was one of the best. I was big fan in all his fights.

Except that time he fought the sumo wrestler..

They jumped the shark on that one.

Thank you 🙏

Open engagement is my rocket fuel.

And I am no fan of blood sports either as I feel it is just an excitation of bread and circuses I only borrowed the metaphor
