My Reflection On Thai Footballers Trapped In Flooded Cave in Thailand

By Ianpassion



The news of the 13 footballers who had been rescued after stranded 17 days in a flooded cave in the Northernmost part of Thailand overwhelmed us with joy and made me reflect as well the power of three values: Hope, Love, and Passion. 


First, the hope that kids were still alive and be found made the search and rescue operation pushing in spite of all the odds, bad weather, flood, darkness, zero visibility, and treacherous route in the cave. Really amazing. It seemed impossible, but when hope overwhelmed doubts everything is viable. 


Second, the love to see the footballers alive and be laid out safe from the cave made many people in Thailand and the world got united, prayed, donated, volunteered, sacrificed, and shared whatever best they have. When love conquers diversity, walls are broken, and wonderful things can be achieved. 


Lastly, the statement of John Volanthen, a British diver who first found the lost boys captivated my heart to ponder once again the power of passion. 



"I dive for passion and always wondered if it would have a purpose. Last two weeks was what prepared for my entire life."  J.V.



I believed that each one of us is wired with a natural passion for a certain purpose and when our call comes we are ready.
