One of the biggest lessons we must take with us in life to live as
productively as intellectuals is that there will always be people in our
lives who are jealous, or who just don't vibe with us, for whatever
reason is inside of their heads. Instead of living a life seeking to please
these types of people, by not being ourselves, and restraining from
speaking up about things we know in our hearts we should speak up
about, we have to give the people that we cant be ourselves around the
delete button.
Don't be afraid to send people to your recycle bin in life, and be sure to
empty it after a while. There is no good sense in keeping people around
who only want you to be copycat versions of their selves. People who
will twist up your words, or belittle the efforts you put forth in life as
much as possible, are people that need to be eliminated from your life as
much as possible. People like this have little interest in your well-being.
