Coronavirus proves nurses should earn more than athletes
Not until the last half a century have athletes elevated to the top one %of society. due to marketing, t.v. Contracts and pop culture Athletes are a significant part of idol worship in our society. Even amongst devout religious citizens, especially if they can profit from it. Despite being Idol worshiped, sports stars can’t save your life, but nurses can. And this is why the Coronavirus proves nurses should earn more money than athletes.Â
Western culture is obsessed with brute strength and athletic ability. With mantras like “only the strong survive.” It’s no surprise we’ve become the most violent society on earth.Â
The United States has the highest number of incarcerated inmates and leads the world in annual gun deaths by “wealthy” countries.
Physically there isn’t much difference between An NBA, NFL players, and Roman gladiators. However, is it a coincidence that the NFL is more violent yet has a bigger fanbase than the NBA?
The NFL has the most die-hard fans as well, as the league managed to withstand a political attack via Colin Kaepernick. Many fans came to the defense of the soldiers despite Kaepernick agenda, having nothing to do with soldiers. Despite the differences in Salaries, it’s debatable as to which is more revered in America today, the soldier or the athlete?
The majority of Hollywood war based films focus on soldiers and generals. They received all the glory, awards, and mentions in history books. Yet no one mentions the medic. Ask yourself why? And this is why the Coronavirus proves nurses should earn more than Athletes.
Could soldiers win wars with no medics on the battlefield? Would bubba shrimp have lived if Forrest left him behind? Maybe lieutenant dan would’ve lost more than just his legs. Forrest Gump didn’t kill any Vietnamese in the film, yet he saved several lives.
How is that less impactful than Forrest returning a kickoff for a touchdown in college? It isn’t, and this is why the Coronavirus proves nurses should make more than athletes.
Hacksaw ridge is the feature film based on 7th-day Adventist Desmond Dodd. Dodd fought in World War 2 with no weapon and is said to have saved 75 lives on the battlefield. Yet the majority of people can name you 50 NBA and NFL players and have never heard of Dodd. While Dodd may be an outlier, numerous war medics have saved lives who will never get a feature film.
While sports worldwide are postponed, now is an excellent opportunity to assess what is truly valuable. The NBA is so bored and unprepared for this pandemic, all they can do is show replays of classic playoff games. Furthermore, the players are attempting to keep their league relevant by playing live games of themselves, playing video games, NBA2K, of course.
In conclusion, while many are in a panic, if we were to be still for a moment, we’ll develop clarity. Stillness helps us permeate the material and entertainment fog that dominates our perception of life. This fog controls our time and values. Being addicted to entertainment and the material is like any other addiction, and now the world is in rehab. And this is why the Coronavirus proves nurses should earn more than Athletes.Â
