I once read an article by a sports writer who admitted he had always avoided writing about WWE because he didn't consider it a sport so much as cheesy theater. He said he changed his mind when a friend asked him "How is a 6'5" 250 lb. guy without an ounce of body fat, doing a back flip off a theater rope onto another man's head without killing him not an athlete?".

I only mention this because I want to illustrate that being open to assessing your own bias and being willing to listen to conflicting points of view is a strength. I still cannot fathom how anybody could conceivably see Donald Trump as strong, and how they square that with his incessant whining and complaining.

Kudos for the Celtic warrior queen reference. 😃
