Grudge Cross: An Exercise In Catharsis


Grudge Cross 07 was an experience in both of the two most common definitions of catharsis. Catharsis is a medical term derived from modern Latin, and is adopted from the Greek word katharsis, which literally translated means a cleansing or purging. It is formed on the Greek word kathairein, which is translated to cleanse or purge, and kathairein is formed on katharos, which means pure, or more literally utterly clean, spotless. The primary definition is in keeping with the medical context from which the word is derived, and is undoubtedly the most literal. It refers to purgation of the excrements of the body, especially the evacuation of the bowels. Many purgative agents must have been ingested before the race for the s**t was flying left and right. The second definition of catharsis means: a purification of the emotions by vicarious experience. Grudge Cross was a self induced catharsis of one’s feelings of dissatisfaction or ill will and resentment for the good fortune of others.

Bottom Line!
Now I can get down to the business of training!
