EP2: Does Basketball Actually Develop Virtues?
Manage episode 301264643 series 2976825
Do human beings truly develop virtues, morals, and spiritual qualities through playing the sport of basketball? Or is basketball just a trivial pursuit and waste of time?
In Episode 2 of "Elevated Conversations" I explore the Baha'i Writings; the reflections of the inventor of basketball, James Naismith; as well as my own personal experience to share how we can practically develop virtuous qualities through the sport of basketball.
5 Virtues I've developed through playing basketball:
- Excellence
- Truthfulness/Reconciliation
- Encouragement
- Humility
- Contentment
5 Virtues we can understand through the metaphor of basketball:
- Spiritual Initiative
- Spiritual Agility
- Spiritual Accuracy
- Spiritual Skill
- Spiritual Muscle Memory
