“Man is selfish by nature” is a saying more often quoted. If this selfishness means self-love then it is truly a blessing yet “Excess is bad” remains constant. Society is full of diverse minded people all possessing unique point of views, values and approaches. We all see, feel and respond differently but what makes us a union is permanent diversity. Some are squares, some are circles, some are rectangles and some are triangles. Trying to fit a rectangle in a circle or square in a triangle is not possible. If we will try so then we will surely cause damage.
Life is full of nasty experiences but for a man of learning these experiences can be the best experiences only if the right perspective is adapted. Nobody keeps all lovers around him/her and nobody meets haters all the way all the time. The only person with zero haters can possibly be Mr. Bean or Charlie Chaplin otherwise we are all the sheep of same flock. We all have both lovers and haters. No matter what you do, you can never be able to satisfy everyone and don’t ever try it if the need is self-satisfaction.
Same is the case with us. We like some people and we hate or at least do not like some. So do they. What is so strange with it? Isn’t it normal? Of course it is. If it is then where comes the fear of being rejected?
It comes from diffidence, lack of knowledge and understanding and lack of appreciation of diversity and differences. Know the above fact as fact to get boosted.
Love yourself and love people. Admire variety and develop understanding so that the world can be seen through different angles.
