Damn, that sure sounds good doesn't it; super bowl champions? Right now I am really feeling great, because the team that I essentially pledged my allegiance to, the team that I put money on, in the end won the Super bowl. But the game was rough to watch and it got me to thinking, why do I care so much for this team, that I have been a fan of for years, to win?
Without getting too deep into it, human nature urges us to be a part of things; to be associated with groups or people or causes or "things". It is always a good thing, when the thing that you chose to be associated with has done something great. It is as if you had done it yourself; as if you were at least a part of something great. That's the way I felt after Kurt Warner fumbled the ball with 6 seconds left on the clock. I felt as if I were with them on the field; that I somehow helped them with the tackle. Even though I did not do a darn thing to contribute to the Steelers winning the game, I feel good. Actually, I feel great.
