A RANT AGAINST CRITICS Just heard some (pretty pointed) criticism about half-baked writing/thoughts from an acquaintance of a second degree - friend of a friend. Seems like you have checked out my Facebook page. Thanks. Sorry if I disappointed you. I am going to cry myself to sleep every night this whole week. Why? Why? Why do I have this effect on people like you who probably have such HIGH expectations of me. Why? :( *sniff Dear Mr/Ms Critic, I am sure that you expect all humans to be fit, all children to be intelligent, all girls to be pretty, all babies to be cute and all men to be successful, right? No fat, stupid, ugly or unsuccessful people in your vicinity and your part of the world, huh? All the people you know - make the cut and meet the grade - of your supremely good taste - all the time, I assume? What do the ones who dont do when you come? Hide? Or do you find some redeeming quality about them if you have to work together and/or coexist? Huh? Duh! And what are you planning to do if I am in the process of Publicly baking my ideas and improving the quality of my writing? The way I think is correct... Not Like me? Not give me YOUR stamp of approval? You Silly A*** (Mild expletive)!!! How and when will you, as an outsider, know when my Ideas are fully baked? When they look right to You and convince You - or when they look right to Me and convince Me? What in your eyes, is the limit on improvement? For example, it is ok to improve twice but then youve got to live with it? Maybe just 3 times but then is definitely enough. More would be Maya?! Do I have a right to live my life and represent myself the way I feel comfortable living? Or should I come and visit you once a week for 4hrs, for a one-on-one crash-course on how to be Maya? And how to manage my social life, public life and Facebook account? Am I allowed, in the part of the Universe which I occupy (I dont even know you - I am counting on your friend to tell you this), to improve as often as I need to, or not? You decide. And then, remember it. Dont bother to tell me. Because it wont change a thing. Deepak Chopra is a famous New Age Guru. I have read atleast 7 of his books. I like them and him. I still dont take a word of advice from him or his books. He doesnt do my work for me, doesnt earn my living, doesnt shop and cook for me, doesnt pay my rent. I do. My way of doing it may be monumentally stupid in your eyes, but it is my life. Of all the Wonders of Nature, stupidity astounds me the most. Speaking strictly for me here.
