DAVID VS GOLIAT

John Scott thought Justin Johnson was an easy rival, mainly because Scott is 2m (6.5 ft), and decided to fight during the match... Bad decision, dear Scott.

CONTROVERSIES IN PARIS 2024 BOXING

Two of the boxing "competitors" at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Algerian Imane Khelif and Taiwanese Lin Yu-Ting, were disqualified from the AIB World Championship just a year ago after mandatory DNA tests revealed XY chromosomes.

However, this year's Olympic Games allow each country's organizations to set their own criteria when selecting athletes, which is why both boxers can compete in the French capital without any issues.

In light of this controversy, a 2022 fight between Imane Khelif and Mexican Brianda Cruz has gone viral, showcasing Khelif's physical superiority.

ALL MESSED UP

Getting out of your car at a sideshow to punch a guy because he apparently kicked your side mirror, only to end up getting punched yourself and having your car stolen while you left it wide open in the middle of the intersection. 2024 wasn’t your year, my friend.

LACK OF RESPECT OR FEAR

Nowadays, many young people question authority not because they’re encouraged to think critically, but because they believe they know it all and feel above the rules. This attitude, combined with a lack of connection to the real consequences of disrespect, leads them to act as if they’re immune to any repercussions. Social media also plays a key role, giving them a platform that often reinforces the idea that traditional authority is irrelevant or unnecessary.

In the past, respect for authority was more about fear, stemming from strict education and an environment where rules were unquestionable. Young people today haven’t experienced those conditions or the real consequences of defying them, which makes them underestimate the value of certain structures. This shift from fear to a sense of invulnerability creates conflicts in how they perceive and respond to authority today.

LIFE IS A GAME OF INJUSTICES

Life is, often, a game of injustices. Things don't always go as they should. You put in the effort, do the right thing, and still, sometimes you end up losing. It's as if the universe, in its chaotic sense of humor, decided that it's not enough to screw you over once, but also to give you an extra hit, one you didn't see coming.

And the thing is, even though we want to believe that the world rewards justice, the reality is that it doesn't always happen that way. Sometimes, despite being in the right place, doing the right thing, you find yourself face to face with cruelty or indifference. Life doesn't always give you what you deserve, but rather what happens at that moment, and what happens isn't always fair.

But that's life: unpredictable, often unfair, and full of unexpected blows. All you can do is get up, with the mark of the last hit on your face, and keep going, knowing that next time, maybe things will turn out better. Or maybe not. But in the end, we keep moving forward because life doesn't stop, and neither can we.

MINUS TIMES MINUS EQUALS MORE. IF EVERYONE IS ARMED, NO ONE IS ARMED.

Weapons create paradoxes that are hard to resolve. In a country where they’re legal, those who don’t carry one put themselves at a disadvantage against those who do. But if everyone is armed, no one dares to use theirs because they know the other person might shoot first. And yet, in a country where they’re banned, the only ones who have them are those who don’t follow the law, leaving everyone else as defenseless targets.

The theory says that arming the population creates balance, a game of deterrence where the risk of retaliation keeps guns holstered. But reality is far messier. Owning a gun, in itself, can push you to use it in situations where you otherwise never would have considered it. A misunderstanding, a pointless road rage incident, a moment of anger… and suddenly, pulling the trigger feels like an option.

If no one carries weapons, there’s no dilemma. If everyone does, the risk is always there but kept in check by mutual fear. And between these two extremes, the paradox remains: allowing guns means that those who don’t carry them are at risk, banning them means only those already outside the law will have them. So the real question is: which scenario would you rather live in?
