A friends status message, plus a couple of overbearing people I know inspired this note. As always, if you think I'm talking about you, then I probably am. Let me start off by saying this: The greatest man to ever live, was a servant of the people. If the heir to God's throne himself was a servant, and was humble enough to drink dirty water, to catch his own fish and cook for himself, humble enough to suffer indignities greater than we will ever experience in our collective lifetimes, how in the hell can someone who has contributed nothing to the world have an ego???
The worth of a man/woman is not found in his or her wallet, it is in the deposits that they have made to the bank of humanity. For some reason, it seems that everyone these days considers themselves a star. They believe that their life is more fantastic than the next person's, that apparently the life of a deadbeat dad, living home with his parents, working part time at best buy, splurging on playstation 3 and evisu jeans while his child is raised by a single mother surrounded by the most niggardly beings this side of the international date line is worthy of envy.
Reality Check: Because someone notes that what you are doing is wrong, does not make them a hater.
Reality Check 2: One half of One Percent of the population in this country has ninety-eight percent of the wealth. If you aren't in that tax bracket, you don't qualify to have haters.
What you do have is an over inflated sense of self worth. The reality tv epidemic has created a new disease. I call it American Idolitis. Everyone is a star now. I hate to break it to you lady, but you are not the next big thing, you are just a big thing. Legends are made because they had something that they contributed to society. What is your contribution? Where is your legacy? If you don't have one, guess what? THAT IS JUST FINE!!!
Everyone is not supposed to be a Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Bob Dylan, Mother Theresa, John Lennon, Cab Calloway, Bernie Mac or Micheal Jordan. These types of people are the exceptions. To be honest scientifically speaking, they would be your mutants, they would be your freaks. The norm would be people who's sole contribution to society is to be a part of it. Nothing more, nothing less. And that is ok.
What is not ok, is for a person to behave as if they are Barack Obama and you are just charles with the green jacket.
Big lips don't make you Angelina shorty.
Take an honest look at yourself and see where you fit in. If you believe you have a higher calling, then pursue that with all you have. If you are who you believe yourself to be you don't have to speak for your work. Your work will speak for you. There was no cnn.com, TMZ or Facebook and I am positive that MLK never had to introduce himself once his work began.
Please people, stop with the bullshit. If you have time enough to notice your "haters" then you clearly aren't focused on what matters, or else you would be to busy achieving to even realize they are there. Humble yourself. Its an endearing quality, and it makes the work you do even more appreciated.
