Hello, everyone.
Welcome to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learner's featured post. One thing I have come to understand is that for as long as you breathe, people will talk about you, people will hate you, and people will even talk about the dead, so there is no escaping what people have to say, whether dead or alive. There are people who will hate you for a reason and those who will hate you for no reason and will want to do everything within their power to bring you down, even if it means spreading rumors about you.
One thing about hating a person is that it keeps you motivated and active whenever anything that will cause the downfall of that person is talked about or worked towards; hate works like passion; it keeps your desire to achieve great things burning, but in the case of hate, it just keeps you going until you probably regret your actions. Hating a person is something I wonder why people indulge in and what they stand to gain from such, but people still do it anyways, and they do it with all their hearts and minds and without even waiting to consider or think about how the other person will feel after their actions.
Hate blinds you; it makes sure you don't see the damage you are about to cause if you keep it going. You only get to realize what you have done after impact, which is why we are advised to avoid hating. One thing about life and living is that it is impossible to avoid getting hated on and getting talked about; if you decide to live life low-key and call attention to yourself, people start to hate and calm it down, and when you decide to make yourself accessible and open to all, they call you cheap and see you as a disturbance, so all you have to do is to do you and do everything that favors you and works for you, not minding or thinking about what people will say, because whether you do it or not, people are going to talk.
Because people are always going to talk, you don't need to react to everything they say because that way you are messing with your own peace and, most of all, your mental health. How I live is because people are always going to talk. I don't always react to what people say. The only way you get me to react is when I see you keep going and not backing off. If you react to everything people say, you tend to never have peace. The only way you get to enjoy peace is if you choose to ignore it and react when you see that they are stopping and must have gone beyond the limit or the disrespect is becoming too much.
People are going to spread rumors that will ruin your reputation, but sometimes you have to come out and clear your name and make sure that the public sees you for who you are and not the information that the rumor carries, but as long as it is not really worth it, just let it slide and enjoy your peace. Only react when it is worth it; don't give people the attention that they are all out for. Many people spread these rumors to get the attention that comes with doing that, but if ignored, they lose, but the moment you give them the attention they wanted, they win, so sometimes you just have to ignore and not react to everything.
