"But their success on the pitch came from playing fantastically well as a unit, and in adapting that 'pack of hunting dogs' mentality in attack and defence that Ferguson preached and asked for. Manchester United defended in numbers, attacked in droves, fought for the ball on every inch of the pitch and from start to finish were pushing the opposition to the limit."i feel it's really sad how there's this perpetual fear of our own needs when we really should be looking out for others. :) gone are the days where "it's not knowing that your friends have got your back, it's knowing that you've got theirs" (Green Street Hooligans) to me, it's a beautiful thing when people try to care for each other rather than themselves, when they look outward instead of inward, cos as humans when you look inwardly you naturally become a lot more overly important and greedy and selfish. Of course, there's the danger of being treated like a doormat, when you're expected to care for others, but your own needs arent important. Or the other way around as well, when others give you the love and concern that you so crave and then you start taking advantadge or them for granted. I believe that a balance must be found, and it's one of the most difficult things to do in life, and you're always learning as you grow up, even the adults i know, loads of them are overly suspicious and careful and pensive and it just makes things feel really uncomfortable, when you're treated like you've got a hidden agenda or like a prospective backstabber when you're absolutely nothing of that sort. I've decided I would never want to grow up to be like that, to start off with someone with the mentality that he/she's got the capacity to hurt you, knowing that he/she probably thinks the same about you. I've decided that I want to grow up to be someone that's always looking after the needs of my friends and that also means never ever someone who takes too much or anyone for granted. That's the kind of grown up that I pray I would be, and that I'd be able to stick to these values and never waver just because, the world's self-gratifying so i should need to do that too.
You might say that im naive or stupid and that people will always be selfish, but I would never ever want to short change anyone just because of me and though sometimes the world compels you to do so, i know i would feel a whole lot more at peace with myself and with God if i try my utmost not to be, instead of succumbing to the worldly ways of deception suspicion and paranoia.
I think i miss the days when things like that werent so evident. I miss my fellow pack of hungry, loyal dogs i really do.
