While I was watching a programme on television, the announcer reminded viewers of the football match coming up next between Liverpool versus Real Madrid. I happen to be a long-term supporter of Liverpool FC even though I haven't got a clue now who the players are. So I said a little prayer for Liverpool to win and then switched over to another channel.
Later I checked to see who was winning and saw Liverpool had trounced Real Madrid by 4-0. Ouch!
I wonder if praying for a team to win constitute personal gain? Who cares!
We are the champions, whoever the players are!
