I'm that person who feels bad for the losing team.

I'm that person who is always going to stand for and root for the underdog.
God had to make me this way, because most people really don't care.
The world at large wants to see others lose, but me, I want to see everyone win.  I want to see everyone reach their dreams.
I have no problem with others around me doing better than I am.  I like to cheer everyone on.
They inspire me, they challenge me to do better, to do more, to be more.
I'm no hater and never have been.

Love never ever hurts others.
There's so much madness in the world, people being mean to one another, tearing one another apart, standing by and videoing others being hurt.
It breaks my heart.
There was a time when I apologized to all the people I used to go to school with.  My memory isn't that great because of the damage I've done to myself using drugs and there was this lie in my spirit that I'd been mean to others without cause.  Every single one of those people came back to me and told me stories where I protected them, where I stood up to the bully for them, where I righted a wrong for them.
I was amazed.
The same thing happened in the clubs.  They used to tell stories about me I couldn't believe, because I drank so bad I couldn't remember.  I asked them why they even liked me or talked to me and every one of their responses were, "You never were mean to me, you took care of the person who was being mean."
Loving people makes you want to protect them, to guard them from harm.  It makes you want to be kind to them, to do for them, to protect them from anyone who thinks otherwise.
When I stand before my Father, I'd rather find out I've been wrong about everything I've ever believed, than for Him to know I purposely hurt someone in His name.
I am a warrior and I love the underdog.
