| Per capita, China won one gold medal for every 25 million people in the
country. The United States' per capita rate was one gold for every 8.5
million. The tiny island nation of Jamaica,
which won a staggering six golds in Beijing, had a per capita rate of
one gold for every 450,000 residents. Had China won at that rate, the
country would have earned 2,889 golds. |

| after a long long time of not writing in this i think it's time to add something. i read this exurb that's from a writer that writes for an online cartoon, and i thought his explanation of this was very well put.
Diverging Paths
Should you ever wish to truly stump a writer, the easiest method in which to do so is ask for a definition of 'love'.
While the amateurs may attempt a cheat by spouting off Miriam Webster's version: 'a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person', the true author will take it many steps further.
As
I've tried for the last 2 years to adequately define what love is, as I
have come to understand it, words have continued to fail me. Yet, here
I am, still, trying to define the most personal of feelings.
Is it a look?
A
smile upon a beautiful face when you do something stupid? A tightness
around the eyes brought forth out of concern? A small frown which you
both know will fade with time?
Is it a string of expressions and emotions?
I love you? You are the love of my life? I can't imagine waking up each morning without you beside me? You make me a better man?
Or is it all of these? Or do these age old clichés barely scratch the surface of what love is?
I
have come to the conclusion that to each of us, love means something
different, and in that case, is a unique feeling to every single
individual on this planet, and thus cannot be universally defined.
As for me, I find that it means:
I
don't know what's coming, I don't know what the world will throw at us,
but what I do know is that throughout, you will never be without me,
you will never stand alone. And as I stand there, you will know,
without a shadow of a doubt, that I am not there because I have to be,
but because there is no other place I would rather be.
Every time I say I love you, with a Muppet-like smile or the rare studios expression, this is what I am saying.
