The Worthy Opponent
Can there be any great enjoyment or satisfaction in doing what everybody else can do? What joy can be derived in sports from overcoming someone who is not as capable as you are? But there is great joy and satisfaction in competing against an opponent who forces you to dig deep and produce your best.
That is the only way to get real joy out of the competition itself. The worthy opponent brings out the very best in you. This is thrilling.
