Sorry to get all philosophical but I think we've all experienced the suffering that comes when we strive with potential negative outcomes in mind. Our thoughts determine the quality of our experience. Entire football seasons have been spent striving. Letting go of that striving will make a real difference in the lives of passionate Chiefs fans. They will be more content with things being as they are, which is key to mitigating suffering, especially when we lack the ability to change those things. The Stoics called it ataraxia, the Buddhists Shanti.
I would chastise myself for allowing football to disturb my peace. Now I'm experiencing some serious levels of ataraxia! We might even see CP becoming a less stressed out place.
