Given the progressing info and ...Well said, Gary !<br /><br />Given the progressing info and continuing research on body-mind-spirit I will say that the demise of PaJoe was precipitated by the person -depressed-giving-up. The inner spirit - "will to live" -- gives up.<br />The physical immune system shuts down. . .and the "dis-ease" progresses and closes down. . and the man dies. In a subtle way the man choose to die, life as is comes to be too much to bear.<br /><br />Joe Paterno was a fulfilled, happy, grateful man. The "keepers" of the university community to whom this man had give his life, his strenght, etc etc, brutally let him down. No compassion. The "letter of the law" is not of itself life-giving. There was no need to fire the coach: the compassionate action would have been to allow him to retire in the dignity he deserved, at "the end of the season". <br /><br />Rather than acknowlege fail of responsibility, they picked on the "scapegoat" and sacrificed him to justify themselves. . . .<br /><br />Well, as Gary's voice of experience and compassion said so well: there will be no monuments and flower and candles to the deficient men/women who "enforce the law". The Community knows better, differently, and acts on their wisdom.<br /><br />Joe has fought the good fight, he has run the race, for him is reserved a crown of glory. Rest in peace and justice.JustinO'Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07379283329949646000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-50221336257256170712012-01-22T17:38:35.854-05:002012-01-22T17:38:35.854-05:00Well, there's a man who achieved what he set o...Well, there's a man who achieved what he set out to and much more, and gained the respect and admiration of thousands of people as a consequence. What a legend! I'm sure no statues in honor of Penn State's board of Trustees or vice chairman John Surma will be erected at Beaver Stadium. What grubby little nobodies they are in the shadow of a truly great man.Gary Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17947146717481835071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-70407007014486000182012-01-22T16:58:17.499-05:002012-01-22T16:58:17.499-05:00For those of us who live in central PA, JoePa was ...For those of us who live in central PA, JoePa was a living legend, both as a coach and as a humanitarian. The charitable works of both Joe and his wife are legend. It is such a tragedy that his career had to end on this down note.<br /><br />RIP, Joe. We are Penn State!!Richardnoreply@blogger.com
