When the World Hates You...

Sometimes...

People may not like you not because anything you said or did...but because of who you are.

Some ignorantly informed preconcevied notion...

So you just have to "brush them haters off." lol.

This woman at my job who I don't even talk to has a problem with me. I don't see how.

All I ever do is smile and say "hi."

Well one day, I said "have a good weekend." and she turned around like I was the chick that had slept with her man and now I'm carrying his twins.

I continued to smile and walk out the door.

A look says it all. I'm not even going to try and figure out what the problem is because frankly, I have sympathy for her.

What can be going on in your life that is so bad that a smile and a greeting can cause you anger?

So whatever the problem is, live goes on. Choose your battles wisely, and this is a pointless battle.

Jesus said in his last days.
"When the world hates you, remember, it hated me first."

And who? Who can hate him?
People with issues in their life, that's who.

One of my students just asked me....

"Ms. S."
"Yep."
"What kind of book was Moby Dick." I look at her with my head cocked to the side and narrowed eyes.....lol, she takes a step back.
"A book about a whale." I say.
"They were speaking negative, saying it was a book about...."
"You know what, that's move on. Let's keep it moving"

Exactly, and she's not even worth it. It's already done in my book.

@desy
Lol, yep we know what you would do. But I'm just going with the Roxy calm way of things.
