We love baseball because our families and friends taught us to love it. Almost everything that we relate with was taught to us to be something that we could be comfortable with. Whether we intended to make sports part of us or not, they are because that is how they are marketed to us. This is not to say that we are not different from others around us, but we just need to realize that we are not who we think we are. All of us have been made, manufactured if you will into the people that we are today.
Big business decides one part of our life, while what is popular decides another.
It really doesn't matter what people think about themselves, or what people say, they are all products of society. And as for people who live life thinking they should look from the eyes of the beholder, maybe they should just take a step outside of the world and look at them self in a different way.
