: f3 ^ w4 L7 T/ o3 qWhen the sirens of an ambulance, fire truck, or police car blaze through my neighborhood, leaving a lingering ringing in my head and making my dog howl, I am only thinking of how annoying they are, and not about what the sirens really mean. When you hear a siren it means that there is an emergency. Somewhere, not very far away, there is someone having a heart attack, a house burning down, or a robbery taking place. But do we ever think about those people in their time of desperation when the sirens sound? No. We only concern ourselves with the temporary annoyance that disrupts our sleep or interrupts our television program. The same is true in wrestling. ) e# |+ u9 q2 t( i* ~/ _
Wrestlers that we love and respect get injured all the time. We feel sad and disappointed. We hope that they make a speedy recovery and come back better than ever. But it is not because we care about them personally. It is because we are selfish. Let’s face it, we’re only thinking about the entertainment that we will be missing. We miss the promos and we miss the matches. Even if we do have some legitimate sympathy for the fallen entertainer, most of the grief that we feel is for ourselves as fans. # q. l7 Z0 z3 U7 f- y7 {
There are many wrestlers who have a variety of problems, ranging from drug and alcohol addiction to simple immaturity and irresponsibility. We know that Jake Roberts, Scott Hall, Jeff Hardy, and Randy Orton have at least one of the problems mentioned above. But rather than actually caring about their problems and hoping that they can straighten out their personal lives, we tend to only consider how it affects us as fans and worry about when we will be able to see them on a regular basis again. & `4 q, m3 ^3 `* O6 X `
Our selfishness goes beyond injury and addiction. When Eddie Guerrero died, I truly believe that the great majority of fans were truly sad for him and his family. I really felt a connection to Eddie and when he died it felt like I had lost a friend. But at the same time we wish that he were still alive, not just to know that he is healthy and with his family, but because we want to see him wrestle and have great promos. I’d like to believe that there is some sort of heaven and that Eddie is there. But the selfishness in me wants to pull him back down to Earth so he can entertain me for a few more years instead of just letting him rest in peace. $ j7 f! b& E( D6 }7 w$ E2 m
In all honesty, none of us has ever done anything completely selfless. It’s impossible. Not even Mother Theresa can truthfully claim otherwise. Even the most charitable acts are selfish. If you do a good deed for someone, it is only to avoid guilt and give yourself a sense of pride in doing good. If you sacrifice yourself for your child it is because you would feel bad if they died instead. This is not to say that everyone is evil and self-centered. It’s just a fact of life. If it were any different we would all be robots. I am not saying that we should all be ashamed of ourselves for wanting to see wrestlers recover so that they can entertain us. I am just saying that we should take their lives into deeper consideration and appreciate the sacrifices that they make for us on a daily basis. Besides, the more you emotionally invest into what you love, the more you will get back in return. $ h" W/ s0 r# c, n! n4 k! q2 {
