    Rips, as compared to life

    So, in a spur of creativity in relation to a friend of mine, I was inspired to write this. It has everything to do with gymnastics, but at the same time, nothing at all. Here's my deep philosophical though of the year. The hands of a gymnast can be compared to life. They hit obstacles, get...
