Western World vs. Eastern World

[4evaFinz]

This thread is not directed at anyone in specific, but since Ricky's return there have been many threads regarding what Ricky has said in interviews. Maybe people are excited and positive about what he has said, but some people are confused and upset.

I would just like to point out during Ricky's "time away from football" he spent alot of time in Asia. As he has mentioned he spent alot of time "getting in touch with his spirituality". This is the way many (not trying to globalize) people in Asia spend their lives. The Eastern World does not measure success by accomplishments, but rather the gaining of knowledge and learning from mistakes. But they do not dwell on mistakes, it is looked at as just an action, and they accept that.

Ricky has returned to the Western World with these beliefs. To us it is very awkward, but to him, it is just who he is. Ricky is here to do the best he can, but his life does not revolve around his success on the field. He does not have goals to be the best, but he will play his best. I personally just hope his best, is the best. My point in this thread is, do not take what Ricky says into your own perception, try to think of it from a foreign aspect. What seems strange to us, is very normal to others.

He's a nut case anyway you spell it! He just happens to be good at football!

Not sure if this is the right forum to discuss Ricky's spirituality, but the only problem I ever had with Ricky was the timing of when he decided to quit and
how it screwed us over.....the positive: we got rid of "He-who-shall-not-be-named."

Ignorance is pouring out of your post.

Like I said his logic differs from our's. I suppose the fact he has a social disorders could assist in his "difference". But I feel he has handled everything well lately. He seemed very "social".

Maybe, but I have to work every day to put food on my table for my kids, I can't walk away to find myself! And if I did, would my job be there??? I very much doubt it!

Why was Rickys job there, because he can play football, plane and simple.

I keep reading posts on here about Ricky quitting and how it hurt the Dolphins.

Wasn't he going to be suspended for a year anyway due to the failed drug tests..????????

I don't see your point? Everyone already knows why Ricky has a job.

You still have a very one sided view on the subject. He has different views about things and so you boil it all down to him being a "nut-case".

You having to work everyday like most people, to provide for a family is no excuse for your ignorant one sided views and judgement upon others who have different views or opinions.

Yup.

Ricky got his job back because he is an asset. I don't mean to offend you NJFINSFAN1 but do you consider yourself an asset to your company? I mean how many Ricky Williams' can the Miami Dolphins sign? Then how many workers can your company hire?

(Not implying your incapable of your job, but you could be replaced. Ricky can't, that is why he is accepted back.)

Have you been in a hole? The NFL agreed to having a 4 game suspention rather than a whole year because he agreed to join the NFL drug program early.

You can agree with me or disagree with me, it's no skin of my neck, I feel the guy is a nut! He went on Meds and had it in control (his disorder), he went off it on his own.

I'm not asking you to agree with me! I just think the guy is nuts! The guy changes his mind so many times it makes my head spin!

I was the #1 salesperson in my office last year, and if I did what he did, I'd be gone in a second!

If it was because of drugs, I would most likely be given the chance to get in rehab and work my way back. But if I left and traveled the world to find myself, I'd be a goner.

PS

No offense taken, sports stars and movie stars and for that fact white collar workers get away with stuff that the common folks would not.

You can agree to disagree, but you can't pull a Ricky because someone does not agree with you!

PS

I'm kidding kind of!
