Don’t gauge your value through other people’s valuation
Friedrich Nietzsche
Do you feel hurt or angry when people make negative and insulting comments on you?
I want to answer this not in my context but generally in the context of people who relish in negativism, who I call the “negativics”. The Negativics take pleasure in insulting others and are rarely even truly conscious of what they are saying as they keep changing their opinions faster than a snake sheds its skin. And yes, they have an irresistible urge to pass strong comments on each and everything under the sun.
I feel most people like to do nothing but bitch about everything, right from their neighbours, family members, politicians to the people from the film industry and the list goes on. But at the end of the day, all those negativics amount to nothing.
In this context I would like to quote what Friedrich Nietzsche said about negativics in his book Thus spake Zarathustra.
“‘No longer raise your arm against them. Numberless are they, and it is not your work to shoo flies. Numberless are these small and miserable creatures; but be warned that many a structure has perished because of the smallest of raindrops and also tiny miserable weeds. I see you stung by those poisonous flies, causing you itchiness; and your pride refuses even to be irritated with them. Blood is what they want from you in all their meaningless and unconscious vengeance…Their bloodless souls crave blood, and so they sting you at every opportunity and make you suffer from small wounds and even before you heal, those same worms will crawl all over you to sting you again and again but you should be too proud to even hate those miserable creatures.
They will call you a devil; they will whine and curse before you. Their curses don’t matter, as they are just whiners and nothing more.
They think a lot about you with their petty souls because there’s nothing in them for them to think about themselves...you will always seem problematic to them. The truth of life is that everything that one thinks about a lot does become problematic in life.”
