Underdogs



Are you one of those people who roots for the underdog? I was for the underdogs even before I knew what that was. Some folks would maybe call it a lame duck. I just can’t help myself, my heart bleeds for those less fortunate and I just want to give a helping hand. Oprah Winfrey, Tom Selleck, Carrie Fisher and I are INFJ and we have a strong humanitarian bent. One profile termed it the Messiah complex, which made me roar with laughter.


But just because we want to see the world as a fairer and more just place doesn’t mean we don’t have common sense nor does it mean that we can’t be realistic about problems. I dislike the term “bleeding heart liberal” since it portrays the person as an idiot. I don’t understand why people feel compelled to belittle persons who have some compassion for their fellow man. Yet these are the same people who are first in line to dole out money to charity that later turn out to be fraudulent. So who’s the dummy?


I understand that not everyone can go down the same garden path but it doesn’t mean I can’t try to convince people what is good for them. My girlfriends found a plaque that they thought would be perfect for me. It said “I’m not bossy, I just have better ideas”. I guess they were trying to tell me something?
