Listen to BBC radio 5’s song lamenting England’s defeat by Germany at World Cup 2010.
Blame the referee. Blame the Premier League. Blame Capello. Blame everything and everyone.
Those who believe that if the disallowed goal was counted England would have won are just too naive.
Why not just face the reality, admit your deficiency, swallow the bitterness, and move on?
Written by Richard Yates. It’s a story set in 1950s about an US middle-class couple, April and Frank, who was bored with their suburban lives and decided to move to Paris. It ended up in betrayal and tragedy.
The story lingers in my mind for a very long time after I finished reading the book. I keep thinking how much it resonates my life, or even lives of people around me. We are bored by our surrounding and our neighbours and our jobs, we want to make some change but have no courage, and we don’t know how to love. We are never getting anywhere.
A very good read.
