Life's Flaming Arrows
Throughout my entire life, I've dealt with critics and naysayers. I've been told by others what my limitations are. I've been told by others what my weaknesses are. I've had all my mental disorders diagnosed by these same armchair pop psychologists. These critics have been predicting my spiraling fall into disgrace and destruction for decades and they get increasingly upset when it doesn't happen. Because they all have one thing in common--they are all completely wrong. And I just don't stop and waste time trying to convince them of that. It would be a pointless waste of time because you'll never convince them. We all deal with people like this. It doesn't matter how good a person you are, somebody is going to be standing along the sidelines of life rooting for your failure. I don't know why that is, but it's true. Of course that says volumes more about the critic than it does the criticized, but dealing with critics is never easy. O
