Enemies of Progress.
I have come to realize one thing about life and the mystery that unfolds from it. We can’t define what the future has for us, we can only try to work in line with what the future has in place and shape the movement towards what we want and how we want it to look like.
A friend of mine just ranted about how overwhelming he felt about the future and its uncertainty. It's truly overwhelming. When you are happy today and then sad the next day. You are rich today and might get poor with time, you might be healthy in the morning and be so sick in the evening. You might be in a friendly relationship with someone today and then tomorrow they turn sworn enemies.
I have come to realize that most times we are not being destroyed and hated by those we see to be our enemies. But the true enemy is the one so close to us. You can't tell what humans have on their minds, they might appear to you with a bright smile, but behind you, they are the ones laying thorns across your path.
It’s inevitable, so far we are living, we will always have haters, even a newlyborn child has haters, there are people around who might not be pleased with the newborn coming to life. But no one can tell. If a newborn has their own haters, then what about you?
I have also come to realize that being successful in life, you will surely have haters come your way. There would be those who want you, love you, and wish for your success so much. While there will always be some that would aim for nothing other than your downfall.
The fun fact about it is that so far you are achieving success in life, so far you are making progress there will be haters around you and those haters will never be above you. They are always below and dragging your feet. Most times they are always a stepping stone to greater heights for the one who sees them as one.
In conclusion
Taking legal action after your haters is like a waste of time. Successful people don't mind what haters say about them but keep working towards building their good image.
But when it comes to some haters going beyond the lines, trespassing, and tarnishing one's image and reputation all around, when it has become unbearable, then the best thing to do is to take legal action against them.
This is because if the actions are not taken at the right time, a lot of people might be swayed and convinced about the fact that what the hater has said is true. Your silence at that point is going to prove them right.
When you come up, and take action against it, you are giving a clearer view to everyone about who the hater is and not to fall for them. Haters are mostly envious souls who are most times jealous about those they want below them or never feel they could get above them.
This is my response to the HIVE LEARNERS weekly prompt in hive learners community for the Week 151 Edition 3 and the topic to be discussed is THE HATE YOU GET
This is a profound reflection on the uncertainty of life and the inevitable presence of "haters". I completely agree that unpredictability is a constant, and that envy can come from where we least expect it. This idea that "haters" are, in fact, stepping stones to success is very interesting, I had never thought of it from that point of view.
The rule is to ignore for as long as you can, and for as long as their hate put no dent on you.
