Warrior or Healer?
If you feel your answer is both, then say which is more predominant. If you feel like participating, that is.
I am a warrior. I think it's pretty obvious why. ;)
But pretend like people don't know you.

What feels good about being a warrior? What feels good about being a healer?
Well, it sounds cliche and probably more than a little egotistical, but I really feel compelled to stand up for the underdog. I hate seeing people get dumped on, picked on, made fun of, whatever. Even if they're generally unlikeable people, I want to see them treated fairly. I was definitely born to defend the accused.
warrior (for others): the vigour of a righteous battle (feeling right is pretty heady; actually winning, more so). feeling you've made an impact, and that your time was worthwhile, even if you didn't.
healing: impact again. (i think control is part of the story for both, maybe.) seeing someone feel better.
do i need to feel personally acknowledged? maybe sometimes, depends. it's nice if it happens, but seeing an end result is good on its own.
eta: i am speaking for myself, here.

My last little blurb crossed paths with your post, Jane. Thanks so much for that descriptive response!
lol! 'descriptive' is one word for it ;)
I'm requesting detailed responses and am failing to provide it in my own, but I've always been more of a healer. I can fight, but it makes me ill. I'm more inclined to be the one holding the spackle, asking "ok, who's got a broken heart?"
Winning definitely feels good, but the satisfaction is really in fighting hard, fighting fair, and leaving it all in the ring. ;)
I think humility is totally overrated.
For me, humility is finding peace in the fact that no matter how hard I fight, I won't win most of them. And, really, that's the way it should be.

rare & worthy calling, glad for it.

I admire warriors. I admire people that fight for things, fight for people.

equally rare, and necessary.
all the time, necessary.
lol... did you at any point have a nietzsche phase (as well)?
dude gave me courage to dance. (and deepened my anxious insomnia by 10%, am sure)

Sensible (and sane-making).
There's got to be some fun in the joust though, no?
