Humble Zone: Goodbye Predators, Soul Crushers, Elitist & Experts
I began this blog to write about the creative projects I have worked on or those that are in progress or planned for the future. In doing so, I express methods I have used to accomplish some of my goals. If it worked for me, perhaps it would be helpful to someone else. I am in no way an expert on anything and to be honest I don’t think anyone else is either. I don’t think there is such a thing as an expert. It’s actually a limiting term as it implies there is nothing else left to discover about a topic.
As it stands when you expose yourself to strangers, particularly on the internet, you are bound to run into wonderful people and those who mean you harm and a little of everything in-between. Now that my blog is getting more readers, I’m starting to get more comments from predators, soul crushers, elitist and experts. These people are more than welcome to their opinions and thoughts but quite frankly, they have little to do with me and mine.
The posts getting the most negative attention are the ones about my container home project. I’ve written the posts as I learn about building container homes and/or recycling, renewable energy, blah blah blah and I am not an expert. However, I’m capable of learning and applying that learning so I’m not going to act as though my knowledge is meaningless and neither should anyone else.
Such is life right? Sure. However I do have something to say about it and I’ll breeze on afterward. I use the web for what it is, a tool. So many use it to attempt to verbally manhandle others in an artificial environment or to “control” the behavior of others. A part of being a powerful person is recognizing when someone is trying to steal your time with negative interactions and being able to avoid being sucked into it.
Having said all this, I simply do not have time to interact with the patients in line for medication before bedtime. If you have something engaging, humble, or honest to say (even if it’s humble criticism) by all means leave a comment. I have been in contact with many wonderful people who have left sincere comments or have sent me an email. I just refuse to have any more of my precious time on earth wasted by miserable people. I have one life and I value every second of it.
Cheers!
