IT WAS A SHOCK TO ME WHEN I HEARD THAT PRESIDENT ABE SHINZO STATED THAT THE 2020 SUMMER OLYMPICS ARE “CURSED” ! IT WAS A SHOCK BECAUSE PRESIDENT ABE SHINZO SEEMS TO ME TO BE A LEADER THAT ALMOST ALWAYS GETS THINGS CORRECT.

HOWEVER, THIS TIME I THINK HE IS INCORRECT. IT IS NOT IMPORTANT IF THE OLYMPICS ARE DELAYED OR NOT DELAYED. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE THE OLYMPICS. THE 2020 OLYMPICS MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT OLYMPICS OF ALL TIME. THE OLYMPICS WILL BE HOSTED BY A COUNTRY THAT HAS PROVEN ITSELF TO BE STRONG, DEDICATED, RESPECTFUL AND BLESSED WITH ANCIENT TRADITIONS.

NOW AND IN THE FUTURE MONTHS, OUR WORLD WILL BE FORCED TO EXERCISE COOPERATION, TRUST AND MUTUAL RESPECT AND INCLUSIVENESS. WE WILL OVERCOME THE OBSTACLES WE ALL FACE AND WE WILL SURVIVE AND THRIVE. OUR PLANET IS TALKING TO US IF WE WILL ONLY LISTEN. WE NEED TO CHANGE AND ADAPT AND DIRECT OUR ENERGY TOWARD COMMON THREATS AND PROBLEMS. WE ALSO NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE (HUMANITY) ARE THE NUMBER ONE THREAT TO THIS PLANET. WE WILL EITHER OVERCOME THE PROBLEMS WILLINGLY OR PERHAPS THE CORONA VIRUS OR THE “NEXT” VIRUS WILL ELIMINATE US.

WE ALL NEED TO HAVE HOPE AND OUR ACTIONS NEED TO REFLECT OUR HOPES. EVERYBODY WITH THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF INTELLIGENCE KNOWS THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT MUST BE UNILATERALLY ADDRESSED. EVERY COUNTRY AND POPULATION NEEDS TO MOVE FORWARD. IF WE DO NOT…. THEN HUMANITY WILL BE THE VIRUS AND THE PLANET WILL ELIMINATE US.

BUT I HAVE HOPE! I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL OVERCOME ! I BELIEVE THAT THE JAPAN 2020 OLYMPICS WILL BE A CROWNING GLORY FOR JAPAN WHENEVER IT HAPPENS ! THE OLYMPICS WILL BE A BLESSING AND NOT A CURSE !! JAPAN CAN LEAD THE WORLD TO CELEBRATE MUTUAL RESPECT AND COOPERATION AND DEDICATION TO WORK TOWARDS CREATING A BETTER WORLD FOR ALL OF US. WE ALL HAVE ROOM TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. ME TOO !!!

I HAVE ALREADY SEEN IT! IT IS GOING TO BE GREAT !
