building off that, I find myself drawn to sports/activities/challenges where I compete against myself, primarily. Rock climbing, music, programming, etc. It seems related to me, that I enjoy the things where the only person holding me back is myself. I've never been good at team sports, or even been able to enjoy them as much. I don't know if it's the zero-sum nature of the game (a winner and loser, and rankings), or if it's the teamwork I just avoid.
- gumby 11y agoThat's the essence of jihad, despite what those death cult nutjobs say. I'm not a muslim but I found that word really useful...until about 15 years ago :-(. Need a better word acceptable to anglos in the west.
- betenoire 11y agoInteresting, I didn't know that. As you suggest, the word has way too much connotation to be useful in that sense anymore.
