This thread is a blessing. Thank you for sharing these example of ones who listen to their inner Wisdom.
About the softball girls, when cooperation comes out in a competition context, we witness a higher kind of behavior. It moves us because it resonate with our deepest inner feeling of what's the best thing to do for all concerned.
This thread shows us the way by these examples of another possible world at our reach.
The "New Paradigm", "Kingdom of Heavens" or whatever we call it appears everyday, everywhere on Earth. Contemplating these kind of gestures is good for the soul. It spreads and may even transform Hate in Love.
It reminds me of a married couple who has forgiven the murderer of their daughter. It happened in Quebec, Canada about 20 years ago. They not only forgave the young man, but also accepted to visit him in jail on a regular base. It completely transformed the young man. They have not seen a murderer in him, but a desperate young man who committed an unbearable crime. The young man is acting still today as their son. An incredible story. Too bad i can't find it in Google search.
Here is a testimony of Hate transformed into Love.
