Houston Astros - Our Team!

"Sometimes it takes one caring adult to inspire the life of another." - Shazi.


As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     What an eventful Saturday. There was a bus crash in Nepal and attacks in Mogadishu. Both killing and injuring civilians. Closer to home we had some shootings, and also the incident involving Yuli Gurriel from the Houston Astro's team. Sounds like a typical Saturday, maybe it is? But should this be the case? - No.

    I wanted to particularly focus upon the incident involving the Astros team member, Yuli Gurriel. It is unfortunate that this has happened, and the fact that he has taken responsibility for what was said or happened is a demonstration of accountability. Yuli also said that the slur was not directed to Yu Darvish, but also decided not to appeal the decision. 

     This case is a great example of the behaviourist model of psychology, known as Behaviourism, where the seeable behaviour is what is observed and measured, rather than taking intention, emotion, or thinking into account. These are the internal events that also influence behaviour. Behaviourist view was the most prevalent view in America. However, it was later noted through the development of theories that there is much more that influences behavior, than what is seen or observed. What we think, our previous learning experiences, culture, beliefs, our interactions with others, our environments, all have influence upon behavior. Sometimes language becomes a barrier  to understanding behavior. Having said this I also think that what is most important is the intention of the heart. 

     Sometimes we face an experience or a struggle that involves power relations, and structures. We feel powerless. Sometimes we also have to decide which battles we want to fight. So there could be major factors at play here, with regards to what was said, what was the internal intent, and how the matter was handled. The key is also to hear what is not being said. Also if there is no place for racism in the games, then this is also a challenge for all major leagues to review practices, and curb racism that might be happening. 

Go Astros!!! :)

You are right; sometimes there are problems that come along the way. Of course some of these are things that we don’t expect to come that’s why we also don’y know what to react afterwards. But if all of us will learn to trust our own instinct and know that we are all capable doing amazing things and we can get over with what we are carrying at the moment, we can actually get over it the right way. Sometimes, we need to check on ourselves and acknowledge the problem. After that, we will be able to come up with a solution.

Thank you your thoughts are appreciated. I am not sure if I am right / wrong, I am just expressing my opinions / views. I'm glad that you were able to relate to these and thank you for your positive response and reading my thoughts. I also agree that when a problem does arrive, we are also called to think through the event / circumstances / situations. We think we don't need to handle a problem or will get over it, but really we need that space to allow us for solutions.
