Victory in a game is not just about defeating the opponent. It is a true act of compassion to relax the rules of a game for a moment for the happiness that arises in the heart of a helpless man. By not being impulsive, but by making humane decisions to suit the occasion, those players showed what true maturity is.
“A true player is not just someone with talent, but also someone with a heart full of humanity”
That short time that Sudu Appu got to run on the field that day and the applause he received from the players taught the entire sports world an eternal lesson. Instead of stopping him, the players and the group that was defending the field encouraged Sudu Appu as he ran around the field. They continuously clapped and cheered, opening the field for the happiness of that innocent young man.
The vitality of the game will never die as long as there are players like this who win people’s hearts, rather than winning on the scoreboard on the field.
