Sometimes, people will hate you for what you have and what you are capable of. They will pull crowds against you and question your confidence in public. They will make your reputation hanging loose from your shoulders and strip you of the last shred of credibility others had on you.
Perhaps you deserved it perhaps you did not. And for them to hate you so much there would have been a drop of venom that bred in some unknown vessel, something that brew into such degrees with age and change. Perhaps you were the only unlockable trap-door they could find in their furry to break into the fortress.
They will hate you for having it all easy while they toiled for quarter of life to achieve what you have already got. They will dislike you for the support you get and the crowds that circle you when you stroll outdoors, a kind of popularity, their erudition could not attract. They will envy you for the way you carry yourself and the vibrancy you spread around you. They will carp you for your fearlessness and assassinate your character for being unconventional.
They will try to kick the ladder you are climbing and shuffle the instruments of your symphony. They will know when to attack and where, but you should know better. Leaving them no place to break into the fort you have been holding for so long is not a hard task. All you have to do is to assure yourself that no matter how difficult, you will continue to do the right thing. Once you take the correct path, there is very little space for any external force to come between you and your ethics. If you have never heard of the voice of your conscience, now is the time to start auditioning for a voice, as you have taken already too long.
Remember, they watch your every move and you should know better than walking in your pajamas in the public.
I am not so sure. Most people are minding their own business and have neither time nor an inclination about others.We are entitled to be paranoid, but be careful not to cross the line beyond which paranoia become pathological making life miserable. Think about that and have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteyour statement may be true in your part of world, but not everywhere. I have seen this happening many times, it's frustrating specially when it happens to the co-workers and friends around you,coz you know you can't be protective of them forever. Call it what you like, I reproduce what I see, hear and experience, and I don't promote paranoia, I only say' WATCH OUT' the ground is not really what you think it is, which is very true in so many situations in life, if you haven't yet got the taste of it..Lucky you!!
