Top and Bottom

I am a sport fan. I really enjoy to watch most games of sports, especially soccer, American football, basketball, hokey, tennis etc..

As a fan, I also check the standing tables of teams and clubs of certain sports. For example, I look around the standings of clubs in premier league, UEFA and world cup, etc. I also notice by myself that I look at the top teams any time when I check out. Sometimes, I look at teams in bottom of the table/s too.

When my friends who interested in certain sports and I have conversation, most of them also know those teams of tops and bottoms in standing tables.

This shows that we usually look at or interested in the most successful tops. And for some reasons, we look at the poorest / s; may be because of interested in or curiosity; may be with sympathy and empathy; may be to laugh at.

In other words, I think that we often forget or less interested in the middles than the tops and bottoms.

Sleeping-Mines

Once, one of my friends who was in Cambodia during war-time said that there were many mines in the region where he lived in.

It was unbelievable that about a half of them were Sleeping-Mines. You may confuse about the name ‘Sleeping-Mines.’ How?

Any group of any armed-force used dozens of mines as guard surrounding any place they choose to sleep every night in order to be safe. And yet, in the morning when they moved to another place, they even not take a look to those Sleeping-Mines. They just simply left them. Since the war was on, and those armed-groups were running around and taking rest in several numerous locations, you can imagine how many mines could be around.

Through out this example, we can see there are many mines in economical, political and many other fields in the world nowadays since some are setting those Sleeping-Mines in order to take a soundly-sleep by themselves.

As a result, millions of people have been becoming victims of ignored-Sleeping-Mines.
