I was told this recently by a person who was trying to express their "lack of fondness" for me
the person never like me!!!
At first I was kinda upset
"Who the fuck are you to be saying such things to me?"
This however was a primary example why emotional responses and or reactions are generally the worst ones especially when something is deemed negative.
The truth of the matter is this person was right!
The world does not revolve around me
I may want it to
I may act like it do
but it doesn't and it never will
The more I thought about this cliche
The more revelations came to me
The world doesn't revolve around my eloquent acquaintance (I wont misuse the word friend) either
And my dear reader , I hope you are sitting down because, guess what.......
THE WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND YOU...
We all are naturally narcissistic, we all love ourselves and we all like when others praise us, compliment us, look up to us...
It is therefore very easy to create a false image of our self, its very easy to think that we are more than we actually are
It is easy to get carried away the the "hype" or the "hoopla"
We all seem to be naturally defensive also, eg. we deny love due to fear of hurt, we at time takes offense to general statements, when others don't share our point of views we often view them as the "enemy" or the "opposition"
But It's very important to always remember
THE WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND YOU...
- Selectors if you are at an event and the sound playing makes a speech about fake friends or badmind people then plays a hot song about that topic don't be offended because thats the only way to introduce such a song.
- Artists, If a selector doesn't like your songs or doesn't play your songs that doesn't mean they are against you
- Ladies if a man who is courting you tells you that you are the most beautiful woman he has ever met that doesn't mean that you are hotter or a better catch than every other woman in the world.
- Reader, If you don't like this article and you generally just can't stand Fudgie Springer, that doesn't mean I'm going to stop writing, singing or spinning and I'm definitely not going to lose any sleep if you confirm these feelings.
