The New Gladiators.

They are everywhere!

And they are abnormaly normal just like you and me, unless you are, well, abnormal.

The notion that these people do their fighting in Stadiums and Arenas should be given up for good.

Gladiators fought to live; The new gladiators live and fight to enjoy a daily routine that will get them to old age.

Today a large segment of the world views athletes as the new breed of them.

And many of them are deserving too. But not to the extreme of idolatry. That is too much.

Soldires are not gladiators, they are warriors!

My gladiators come from many walks of life, and they fight for what is right and good, and sometimes, for trophies too!

Fathers who work two jobs, and mothers who do the same to make ends meet, they are gladiators.

Lovers who know why they love, who they love. That kind of bliss, makes them great gladiators.

The kid with a dream, that is told not to try to make a reality of it because going for it seems too hard, and goes for it, he is a gladiator.

Many of them get to fulfill what they shot for.

Some fall short, but not for lack of effort, they too, are gladiators.

The new breed.

So, for those who are trying to do it, who have done it, and who did it, I salute you!!

I am glad to be surrounded by you.
