It seems the world has a misunderstanding of what the word 'hater' is because everyone seems to be spreading around this word like its the flu or something. Anything progressive that someone is trying to accomplish or something that deviates from the norm will always be victim to scrutiny. It's in our nature as humans to want to critique and make an understanding of what we don't know.But where does the fine line between voicing our opinions and simply 'hating' start and end? There are usually some tell tale signs to let you know when you're simply stating your opinion and when you're just being a hater. (People take note and notice if you fall victim to the disease called hate)
If you have ever been to a blog, social networking site, walked down the street looking good, got a promotion on you job, or gotten any kind of 'life' from anyone I'm sure you're gonna feel this post. The warning signs to look out for to let you know you are a 'hater' usually follow the same pattern (sidebar: Picture me saying this in my Steve Irwin 'Animal Hunter' voice). Most haters never deviate from the blueprint because haters aren't clever, they just rehash the same ignorant comments to try and diminish your shine. An example of a few 'hatin' statements would be:
1. 'Yeah he/she (insert quality here) BUT...' (If a person is doing /looking good they are just doing well, everything after that 'but' is pure hate)
2. 'They're doing well but I bet you it won't last long?' (that's a classic line from a person hating from the bottom looking up)
3. 'I bet you if they didn't have (insert quality here) that they wouldn't be all that' (But the person does 'hater' so deal with it and kill yourself)
4. 'I can't wait til this person's run is up' ('Hater' are you still waiting? get a snickers)
5. 'They ain't all that/ Who do they think they are?' (This is the hatin ass line that started it all and will forever go down as legend)
I'm sure you've heard or even used a couple of these line before. Don't worry we all do it at one point or another in life but the trick is to not let this hate consume your life. Instead of trying to be destructive when critiquing someone and their actions, construct positive thoughts and see how your outlook on life changes. Try to look for something positive on someone or something before you try to find something negative. If you provide the balance of the good and the bad instead of the overwhelming bad qualities your message will be more received. Besides, bringing one person or thing down won't bring you any higher or closer to where you wanna be. We're all just trying to survive and be the best person or organization we all can be, so let's try to uplift before we cause a deep rift. (I was looking for a Jesse Jackson rhyme, and I racked my brain for 10 minutes for that last line lol)
Until next time folks '....Keep calm and carry on'
