There is no question that we want to win. The question is really: does winning matter? Sure, it's more fun, the bus ride home is more pleasant, the coaches less grumpy; but a year from now, two years from now, heck, even two months from now, does it REALLY matter? Maybe, maybe not. Sure working together and learning to work with different people in pursuit of a common and larger goal is worthwhile, but does it matter if the end result is victory?
Without question what does matter is the stuff we do off the field, the classes we attend, the discussions we have, the books we read, the opinions we form and alter and re-form. These are the things that will change our lives and (just maybe) the lives of others.
Here are some Foresters working together, independently, in the library--a place where the stuff that always matters, happens.
