I’m going to throw this in the air and leave it.
People often reject what they don’t understand. They envy not being “let in” on the “secret” that makes someone thrive or feel joy. When they throw their hate and see it slide right off you, they cringe at the light radiating from your soul, as if it’s poison to them.
Don’t pay them any mind. They couldn’t even reach your level if they tried. Leave their negativity behind. Only invite positivity and light into your life.
If someone’s light is dim, try to uplift them—but don’t stay too long. If your efforts don’t work, their darkness could drain yours. Some people are comfortable in their dimness. Misery needs company, but you don’t have to be a part of it.
Instead of adding more hate to the world, try appreciating what you witness. Experience life fully—don’t just exist in it.
