A MAN OFTEN SEES IN THE WORLD... ...THAT WHICH HE SEES... ...IN HIMSELF...

Jonathan Edwards: I was brainwashed, but I needed faith to break world record 

This was an interesting article, that I 'just' read through... 

What I took from such... ...is that the present triple jump world record holder (Jonathan Edwards)... ...had faith in God... ...when he set the world record (of 60'0.25"/18.29 meters)... ...in the triple jump...

It's my understanding... ...that he has deviated... ...from being... ...a devout Christian... ...and instead... ...has embraced... secularism (that... ...which is apart... from the church).

The notion that Jonathan Edwards was 'guided by atheism'... ...when he set... the triple jump record... ...does not... seem genuine...

With that said... ...it can be inferred... ...that 'there is value... in having faith'...

"My faith played a big part in my athletics career. And my father really pushed me. I don’t know why he thought I could go far, but he was proven right. I guess one father somewhere has got to be lucky – we all think our kids will do great things. My belief was that I had a God-given ability so it was my responsibility to make the most of it..."

"A human is the summation... ...of all... of his/her actions (on the timeline, of his/her life)... ...that influence... his/her spirit-mind-body ratio... People are like books... ...that have pages... ...that can, be read... (they are multifaceted... ...and have layers)..." - Michael Izuchukwu

What do you think, was Jesus Christ's summation? Did He have one...?

NOTE:
The actor behind this depiction, of Jesus Christ... ...is the one... ...that I relate to... ...most... (there are at least 2-3 other actors, that follow... in my ranking)

"I ranked the actors... ...on the basis... ...of how well... ...I believe... ...they capture... ...Jesus Christ's persona... ...in relation... ...to how the Gospel/story of Jesus Christ (along with His message/teachings)... ...is written... ...in the bible..." - Michael Izuchukwu

"There are '195' countries, on planet Earth (our world)... ...across '7' continents (North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia... and Antarctica)... Each human is born, by '2' parents (male and female)... ...and the governing dynamics... ...of one's parents' spirit-mind-body ratios... ...influence... ...the spirit-mind-body ratio... ...of oneself. 

...Often, one's childhood and adolescence (regarding personal interests... and managed achievements... at that time)... ...lay... 'the foundation'... ...for one's future endeavors..." - Michael Izuchukwu 

NOTE:
Richness of the spirit realm... ...and richness... of 'the world'... ...manifest themselves... ...in different ways... 

CONTINUED:
Richness of the spirit realm... ...is more genuine... ...than the latter (that, of the world)... ...but is typically... 'more elusive'... (rarer in appearance, less tangible... ...or more difficult... to grasp)

NOTE:
I believe that the correct spelling, should be 'Ramses'... (I decided not to match... ...the uploader's interpretation... of 'Rameses')
