Living well vs. revenge

December 5, 2006

I usually don’t blog about stuff like this… hell, I usually don’t blog at all, but something’s been on my mind lately that meets my strict blogging criteria.

What is it about life that I don’t “get”? Allow me to elaborate. Some people seem to be of the mindset that there is something, or many things, about life, love, relationships, responsibility, etc. that I don’t understand. They believe there are things that will blindside me at some point because I’m too naive, too shortsighted, not intelligent enough, don’t have the “right stuff”, however the hell they want to put it.

They have suggestions for me. I listen, and well…. discard most of them. Most of the time, they have no clue what they’re talking about. I judge this based not on the logic of what they’re saying, but by evaluating how their approach has worked for them. For example, would you take moneymaking advice from somebody who is struggling to pay bills? Would you take relationship advice from people who can’t keep a stable relationship? Would you take job-hunting advice from somebody who hates their job?

I believe I am doing very well for myself and frankly am a bit tired of all the doubters. What exactly am I doing wrong when my approach to all things in life works for me?

Rhetorical question? I don’t know. All comments welcome.
