Imbaleki edumileyo uArrhichion yasePhigaleia kumazantsi eGrisi yasweleka ngo-564 BC. kwiMidlalo yeOlimpiki kwindawo ekrwitshiweyo yelinye iqela. Nangona kunjalo, wawuphumelela umdlalo we-wrestling. Ukwazile ukukrazula iqatha ngomzuzu wokugqibela. Xa umchasi wakhe wakhulula intambo yakhe ngenxa yeentlungu waza wanikezela, kwakusele kudlule ixesha lobomi bukaArrhichion.

Umoya we-Olympus: Ukulungele ukufela uloyiso lwakho?

Uhlolisiso olwapapashwa ngowe-1980 lwabuza iimbaleki ezingaphezu kwekhulu oku, “Ngaba ubuya kusela ipilisi ukuba inokukwenza ube yintshatsheli yeOlimpiki kodwa ufe emva konyaka?” Ngaphezu kwesiqingatha sabadlali baphendula ngokuthi ewe. Uvavanyo olufanayo luka-1993 lweembaleki eziphezulu kwiinkalo ezahlukeneyo lwafumanisa into enye (uGoldman noKlatz, Ukufa kwigumbi lokutshixa II. Chicago, Elite Sports Medicine Publications, 1992, iphepha 1-6, 23-24, 29-39).

I-scandals ye-doping ibonisa ukuba ezi mpendulo azikwazi ukuchithwa ngokupheleleyo. Kwimidlalo yokhuphiswano, abadlali abaninzi bakulungele ukubeka esichengeni impilo nobomi babo ukuze baphumelele. Ngoko ke, kutheni le nto imidlalo yeOlimpiki idume ngokuba negalelo elihle nelikhuthaza ukuziphatha okuhle kweli hlabathi?

UBaron Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937), ongunozala weMidlalo yeeOlimpiki yanamhlanje, wathi: “IMidlalo yeOlimpiki yamandulo neyanamhlanje inento enye ebalulekileyo efanayo: ilunqulo. Xa imbaleki yayibumba umzimba wayo ngoqeqesho lwezemidlalo njengoko umkroli ebumba umfanekiso oqingqiweyo, yayizukisa izithixo. Imbaleki yanamhlanje ihlonipha ilizwe layo, abantu bayo kunye neflegi yayo. Ngoko ndicinga ukuba ndandichanile ukunxulumanisa ukuqaliswa kwakhona kweMidlalo yeOlimpiki neemvakalelo zonqulo kwasekuqaleni. Ziyaguqulwa kwaye zide zihlonitshwe yi-internationalism kunye nedemokhrasi ebonakalisa ixesha lethu langoku, kodwa kuseyinkolo efanayo eyakhuthaza amaGrike aselula ukuba azame ngamandla awo onke uloyiso oluphezulu phantsi komfanekiso kaZeus ... Inkolo kwezemidlalo, i-Religio Athletae, ngoku ingena ngokuthe ngcembe kwiingqondo zabadlali, kodwa abaninzi babo bakhokelwa ngokungazi. IiOlympians: Ijenali yeHlabathi yeZifundo zeOlimpiki, Umqu. 2, 1993, iphe. 91)

KuPierre de Coubertin, imidlalo “yayilunqulo olunecawa, iimfundiso neemfundiso zesithethe ... kodwa ngaphezu kwako konke oluneemvakalelo zonqulo.” (ibid.)

Ukuvulwa nokuvalwa kweMidlalo yeeOlimpiki kungqina oku ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo. Umbala, ukhuphiswano, umculo, iNgoma yeOlimpiki, isiFungo seOlimpiki, uMlilo weOlimpiki zivuselela iimvakalelo zovuyo lwenkolo olumfamekisayo iliso elibalulekileyo.

IMidlalo yeOlimpiki yowe-1936 ebalaseleyo eBerlin, awathi uAdolf Hitler wayisebenzisa gwenxa kwipropaganda yakhe, yayiyimpembelelo yemiboniso ye-giga yeeOlimpiki zamva.

Ithini iBhayibhile?

Umoya weOlympia wahluke ngokupheleleyo koko uPawulos akululekayo onke amaKristu esithi: “Ningenzi nanye into ngokuzingca, okanye ngokusukelana nokungento, kodwa ngokuthobeka kwentliziyo omnye ambalele omnye ekuthini nguyena wongamileyo kunaye.” ( Filipi 2,3:5-12,10 ) “Eluthandweni lobuzalwana yibani nobubele bothando. omnye komnye; Ngokuhlonelana, yibani nombeko omnye komnye” ( Roma XNUMX:XNUMX ).

NoYesu ngokwakhe wathi: “Ukuba nabani na ufuna ukuba ngowokuqala, makabe ngowokugqibela kubo bonke nomkhonzi wabo bonke!” ( Marko 9,35:9,48 ) “Nabani na oyena mncinane phakathi kwenu nonke uya kuba mkhulu!

Ngenani ngesango elimxinwa; Ngokuba libanzi isango, iphangalele nendlela, esa entshabalalweni; kwaye baninzi abangena apho. Kuba limxinwa isango, icuthene nendlela, esa ebomini; kwaye bambalwa abamfumanayo.”— Mateyu 7,13:14-XNUMX .

Umendo obanzi ngumendo wokuzingca, umendo omxinwa umendo wokuzincama: “Owufumeneyo umphefumlo wakhe, wolahlekwa nguwo; nothe wawulahla umphefumlo wakhe ngenxa yam, wowufumana. ”(Mt 10,39:XNUMX)

KwiNtshumayelo yaseNtabeni, uYesu ungqale nangakumbi: “Ukuba ubani uthe wakubetha esidleleni sakho sasekunene, mguqulele nesinye.” ( Mateyu 5,39:XNUMX ) Ngokucacileyo, uYesu wanikela ubungqina obucokisekileyo bokuba “umntu obetha umphefumlo wakho ngokomkayo” okanye “umntu obetha intliziyo yakho.”

Lo mahluko ucacileyo phakathi kweOlympian kunye nemimoya yobuKristu ibuza lo mbuzo:

Kutheni amaKristu amaninzi exhasa iiOlimpiki?

Ngo-1976 iFellowship of Christian Athletes eUnited States yayinamalungu angaphezu kwama-55. Umbutho iAthletes in Action, inkonzo yeCampus für Christus, inabasebenzi abangama-000 kuphela. Iimbono zabo zibuyela emva kwi-Muscular Christianity eNgilani ngasekupheleni kwenkulungwane ye-500 kwaye yayiya kuthi ngaphambili yagxothwa njengento engenakucingelwa ngamaKristu amaninzi. UThomas Arnold (19–1795), intloko yeSikolo soMbhoxo eWarwickhire, eNgilani, wayekholelwa ukuba umdlalo wokhuphiswano nokhuphiswano unexabiso eliphezulu lokomoya. Wayenguyise wokomoya kaPierre de Coubertins okhankanywe ngasentla, umseki weMidlalo yeeOlimpiki yanamhlanje. IMidlalo yeOlimpiki yokuqala yanamhlanje yaqhutyelwa eAthene ngo-1842.

Makhe sijonge iingxoxo ezidlalwa ngamaKristu ngokuthanda imidlalo yokhuphiswano:

"Umdlalo wokhuphiswano unobuhlobo kwaye uyadlala." Ngelishwa, okuchaseneyo kuyinyaniso: iyalwa engundoqo kwaye ihlala ibulala kakhulu, nokuba iliwa ngomoya wobuhlobo. Eyona njongo iphambili kwezemidlalo kukugqwesa abanye.

»Ukhuphiswano lwemidlalo lukhuthaza ubulungisa. Kuye kwafunyaniswa ukuba okukhona umdlali ekhwela phezulu, kokukhona ezimisele ngakumbi ukusebenza, kokukhona kubaluleke ngakumbi ukuphumelela yaye ixabiso elincinane alibekayo ekulingeneni ubulungisa. Obunye ubungqina obuchasene nethiyori yobulungisa: Kwanasesikolweni, apho imidlalo yokhuphiswano inyanzelekile kubo bonke abafundi, abantwana abangenamdla kwezemidlalo bakhawuleza badlale indima yangaphandle eklasini xa iyonke.

Kodwa kuthekani ngemizekelo emikhulu yokuziphatha kakuhle umntu ayibona ngokuphindaphindiweyo phakathi kwabadlali? Inye kuphela ingcaciso yoku: Imidlalo yokhuphiswano ayibumbi umlinganiswa, kodwa iyayityhila. Ukhuphiswano alunamdla wokuziphatha. Ngaphandle kobushushu bedabi, abanye iimbaleki ngokwethuku bahlala benyanisekile kumaxabiso asele benawo. Nangona kunjalo, oku akuthethi ngomdlalo okhuphisanayo, kodwa kuchaza kuphela ukuba kutheni umdlalo awukabonakali ngokupheleleyo. Kodwa siyasondela kwelo nqanaba. Kuba amaxabiso emveli asezantsi eNtshona.

Icebo likaThixo ngomntu laliyintsebenziswano, kungekhona ukhuphiswano. Kuba ukhuphiswano luhlala luvelisa abaphumeleleyo kunye nabalahlekileyo.

"Umdlalo weqela ukhuthaza intsebenziswano." Kwakhona ukuphanga ibhanki kunye. Ukuba injongo esisiseko kukuchasa uThixo, yonke intsebenziswano ayinakunceda.

"Sifuna ukhuphiswano ukuze sifunde ukuba ngabalahlekileyo." UThixo udale ngamnye wethu nobuchule obahlukileyo. Ngoko akukho ngqiqweni kwaphela ukuba sizithelekise. Sifanele siphucule ubuchule bethu ukuze simkhonze bhetele uThixo, kungekhona ukubalasela.

"Awukwazi ukuphepha ukhuphiswano." Kodwa: ukhuphiswano lweembaleki nangayiphi na imeko. Ukhuphiswano kubomi bezoqoqosho, kwelinye icala, akufuneki lube lukhuphiswano. Ukuqhuba ishishini lam ngokweenqobo ezisesikweni, ndingenamnqweno wokodlula abanye, ayilokhuphiswano. Impumelelo ayiyombasa enokuphumelela imbaleki enye kuphela okanye iqela. Ukhuphiswano lwenzeka kuphela xa abantu ababini okanye ngaphezulu okanye amaqela ezama ukuba ngabaphumeleleyo bodwa.

"Ukhuphiswano yinto yendalo ngokupheleleyo." Oku kuyabonakala, kodwa kuphela kwabo bangekaguquki.

"Imidlalo ekhuphisanayo ihlala ngokuzithandela, ngenxa yolonwabo lomdlalo kunye nokunyakaza." Kwabanye, i-spoilsport imbi ngakumbi kunokulahlekelwa kakubi. Ngoko ke, isigqibo sokudlala kaninzi asikho ngokuzithandela njengoko sicinga. Imidlalo enjalo phakathi kwabahlobo idla ngokuliwa ngokungqongqo ngakumbi kunokhuphiswano olucwangcisiweyo.

Ewe imithambo ikugcina usempilweni. Kodwa oku kunokufezekiswa ngaphandle kokhuphiswano. Umngcipheko wokwenzakala emzimbeni, umonakalo ngokwasengqondweni nangokwengqondo ke amaxesha amaninzi ngaphantsi.

ukhuphiswano lwahlulahlulwe. Ophumeleleyo unebhongo, owoyisiweyo uyadakumba. Ukhuphiswano lunamandla, luyonwabisa kwaye luvelisa iadrenaline eninzi. Kodwa oko akufanele kudidaniswe luvuyo. Wonke umntu unokuba nesabelo kuvuyo lokwenene.

Umpostile uPawulos usebenzisa ukhuphiswano njengophawu lokuba ngumKristu. Kweyoku-1 kwabaseKorinte 9,27:2; eyesi-2,5 kuTimoti 4,7:8; 12,1:6,2-3 nakumaHebhere XNUMX:XNUMX UPawulos uthetha ngokhuphiswano lomKristu. Umthelekisa nembaleki elindele isithsaba selaurel. Nangona kunjalo, uthelekiso lubhekisela kuphela ekuzibopheleleni nasekunyamezeleni ukuba abadlali bazisa ukuphumeza injongo. Noko ke, kwidabi lokholo lamaKristu, akukho mntu uphumelela ngokucinezela omnye. Wonke umntu unokuphumelela ukuba ukhetha ukwenza njalo kwaye abambelele kukhetho lwakhe. Yaye apha eneneni iimbaleki ziyancedana ngokungqinelana nomgaqo othi: “Thwalisanani ubunzima.” ( Galati XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX ) Ngokucacileyo, iimbaleki zincedana ngomgaqo othi: “Thwalisanani ubunzima.

Umoya weOlimpiki kwimbali

Ngoxa imidlalo yonqulo nemidlalo yayinendima enkulu kunqulo lwamaGrike, asifumani nto injalo phakathi kwamaHebhere okanye amaYuda. Imfundiso yonqulo neyokuziphatha yayisenzeka ubukhulu becala entsatsheni.

Umsebenzi wemihla ngemihla wawuyinto ephucukileyo, kodwa kumaGrike yayiyinto ethoba isidima. Kwakungekho midlalo okanye imidlalo elungelelanisiweyo kwinkcubeko yamaHebhere. Kuye, ukuzivocavoca umzimba kwakusoloko kudibene nobomi obusebenzayo. KumaGrike, ubuhle babungcwele, yiyo loo nto iimbaleki zazikhuphisana kwi-Olimpiki zihamba ze. KumaHebhere, kwelinye icala, ubungcwele babubuhle yaye bukhuselwa ngesinxibo. Iimbono zehlabathi ezimbini ezahlukeneyo ngokupheleleyo.

Ngokwabantu, inkqubo yemfundo yamaGrike yavelisa impucuko echumileyo. Noko ke, umoya wokulwa wamaGrike owawuzomeleza ekugqibeleni wayiwisa phantsi iGrisi. AmaRoma ayesele ekwinkulungwane yesi-2 BC. waqalisa ukuba nenxaxheba kwiMidlalo yeOlimpiki yaye ngoku, ekhuthazwa ngulo moya, waqhubeka nemidlalo yokulwa kawonke wonke. Sonke siyazi malunga nemilo ye-gladiator kunye nokuzingela kwezilwanyana kwibala laseRoma. Ezona ndlela zimbi zavalwa kuphela phantsi kwempembelelo yobuKristu.

Noko ke, kumaXesha Aphakathi Obumnyama, sifumana umoya wokulwa kukuzibandeza iimonki nakuburhalarhume. AmaKristu atshutshiswayo awasafanga kwimidlalo yamabala emidlalo yaseRoma, kodwa ebulawa ngamaqhawe. Ngama-knights, umdlalo wokulwa ngendlela yetumente uvela kwakhona.

KuHlaziyo sifumana imbono ebanzi ngokuchasene nokuzincama, imonki kunye nemidlalo yokhuphiswano. Ngoku isidima somsebenzi siye sagxininiswa kwakhona. Ukanti uLuther wayekhuthaza ukulwa, ukubiyela, nokwenza umthambo njengezinto ezikhuselayo kubuvila, uburheletya nokungcakaza. Nkqu noMelanchthon wayekhuthaza imidlalo kunye nemidlalo, nangona ngaphandle kwamaziko emfundo.

Umyalelo wamaJesuit owasekwa nguIgnatius Loyola ngowe-1540 wakhuthaza umoya wokulwa ngokhuphiswano oluninzi lwasesidlangalaleni. Iiodolo, amabakala, amabhaso kunye namabhaso adlale indima enkulu kwizikolo zamaKatolika ukusukela ngoko. Itotshi yomoya wokulwa wamaGrike yayidlulile kwi-knight ukuya kumaJesuit.

Ukuvuka ngokukhawuleza

Kwada kwaba yimvuselelo enkulu kuMntla Merika, eqala ngo-1790, apho izikolo zathi zavela zingasenayo indawo kwikharityhulam yazo yezemidlalo nemidlalo. Ukwenza igadi, ukukhwela intaba, ukukhwela ihashe, ukuqubha kunye nemisebenzi yezandla eyahlukeneyo yabonelelwa njengolungelelwaniso lomzimba kwizifundo zethiyori. Kodwa imvuselelo yaba yeyomzuzwana.

Ukuhla okujikelezayo

Ngo-1844 iKholeji yase-Oberlin engumzekelo nayo yajikela umva kule ntanda-bulumko yemfundo yaza yaphinda yavelisa ijimnastiki, imidlalo kunye nemidlalo endaweni yoko. UbuKristu obunezihlunu obukhankanywe ngasentla baqalisa ngoku ukugqugqisa kuzo zonke izikolo zamaProtestanti. Phantsi kwempembelelo yentlalo kaDarwinism - »ukusinda kwabanamandla (abona banamandla basinda)« - imidlalo efana nebhola ekhatywayo yaseMelika yavela, apho kwade kwasweleka abantu abaninzi ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yama-20. Ekugqibeleni, i-eugenics yayijolise ekuphuculeni imathiriyeli yemfuza yabantu ngokukhetha. Ubuhle namandla baba yinkolo kwakhona, ngomoya weOlimpiki. I-Third Reich yabona apho oku kunokukhokelela khona. Indoda yase-Aryan yayiyinyama yalo moya. Ababuthathaka, abaneziphene kunye namaYuda babeza kutshatyalaliswa ngokuthe ngcembe ngeenkampu zokutshatyalaliswa kunye ne-euthanasia.

Ngokuqinisekileyo, uqeqesho lomzimba lwabadlali bezemidlalo kunye nabantwana besikolo bekusoloko kudibaniswa neenjongo zomkhosi.

Lo moya uphila kwaye uqondwa lula kwiMidlalo yeOlimpiki, ibhola ekhatywayo, umsesane wamanqindi, iFormula 1, amakhuphiswano oonobuhle, iminyhadala yomculo, ukulwa neenkomo, iTour de France kunye nolunye ukhuphiswano.

Umoya weOlympian usaqhubeka ukurhwebesha amaKristu amaninzi kumanzi ayingozi ngengoma yawo yentsimbi ukuze ukholo lwawo lwaphuke. Ngenxa yokuba kukhuphiswano benza okwahluke ngokupheleleyo koko umKristu abizelwa ukuba akwenze: “Nabani na ofuna ukundilandela makazinikele ngokwakhe, awuthwale umnqamlezo wakhe, andilandele emendweni wam.” ( Mateyu 16,24:XNUMX ) “Nabani na ofuna ukundilandela makazinikele ngokupheleleyo, awuthwale umnqamlezo wakhe, andilandele endleleni yam.” ) UYesu wahamba indlela yokuzincama, ukuzincama, ukuthamba nokuthobeka, ukungabi nabundlobongela nokukhonza. Lo moya wawusoloko uvakala kumazwi akhe, kwizenzo nakwisisa sakhe ngaphandle kokukhetha. Kungale ndlela kuphela awayenokwenza ukuba uthando lukaThixo lukholeke kuthi. Sibizelwe ukuba siyeke ukuqhwalela ngapha nangapha, ukuba singabi shushu okanye sibande, kodwa sizaliswe ngokupheleleyo nguMoya kaThixo.

Eli nqaku libuyisela iingcinga ezibalulekileyo kwincwadi yakhe, ngoncedo lombhali uBarry R. Harker Umlilo ongaqhelekanga, ubuKristu kunye nokuPhakamisa kweOlympism yanamhlanje kunye kwaye yongezwa ngabahleli ngeengcinga ezingaphezulu. Le ncwadi inamaphepha angama-209 yapapashwa ngo-1996 kwaye iyafumaneka kwiivenkile ezithengisa iincwadi.
