People will only stop hating you when you are gone. As long as one is still alive and active, then expect more of hate speeches, hate actions, slandering and what have you.
For me, I don't even see it as something good that every one is talking good about me. If anything like that happens, then I must check my actions and inactions. Or maybe I only have sycophants around me. People who just wants to get something good from me and move away. Because in life, you must have the good people and the bad people around you. Good people helps you push forward by always telling you what you need to do more to advance. The bad people are there to criticize you and make you understand where you are failing and where you need to make amends. Now tell me, if you don't have these two categories of People around you, how do you think that something good will come out of your life?
This is a true life story of a friend of mine, though not too close to me, but we attend the same fellowship and that makes her a little bit closer to me. She is not a close friend, but still a friend from a distance.
One day she called me and told me that someone said something bad about her and that she can't accept it. She planned on taking legal action against the person. I tried all I could to stop her from doing any of such thing but she insisted that she must do what she wants.
First she took the case to their village meeting which require her to bring drinks and cola worth over ten thousand naira as at five years back. She bought them and took there. After all investigation she found out that the person she thought that said it was innocent because another person came into the picture. From that point she took another action again and reported the another meeting where the other person belongs and demand that the person be called to disclose why she said that and how she said it and to whom was it told. A day was fixed and the second person came up to say that it was a different person entirely that said it and she heard it. The third person was brought in and it continued for months. My friend refused to rest because she wants to prove that she did not what they are saying about her. One thing lead to another and she spent over a hundred thousand naira. The case did not end there. She continued increasing her enemies and the issue was never resolved. At the end of two whole years the issue was still moved from one person to another making the news to be all over the place. People that never knew anything about it, heard of it and everyone started talking about her in town which made matters worse. If she had listened to me in the first place I don't think that she will have such people as her enemies and her name wouldn't have been spread like that. Of all these because she don't want anyone to talk evil of her.
Online slandering
I think that first of all, we need to check our lives even as we go online. It is said that there is no smoke without fire. If someone is a celebrity, and goes about doing something bad in the public, definitely that person must be disgraced online some day. But if after checking my life and there is nothing wrong with me or what I do and yet someone is trying to spoil my name online. All I think that I would do is to clear my name online and forgot about that person. It won't take time when the truth will come out. If people stop talking about you either positive or negative, it means that you are no longer alive. But as long as you are still breathing, someone will definitely talk about you. And most times it is not always palatable. Life continues.
I completely agree with the fact that as long as you are alive people will say something or the other about you. People need a topic to talk about, so they start saying anything about any person.
Very correct dear. Thanks 👍 for coming around
At the end of everything I think it is a very personal decision to decide whether to take seriously what they say about you or not. I learned that over the years. That woman you are talking about could avoid all that happened to her, if only all those comments had ignored.
Hmmm! Is not everyone that can just let go.
Thanks alot
She say I say them say, that's how it will continue going on and on and she will spend the little money she is suppose to use for another thing. Personally I don't bother about them say them say though it is so difficult to let go a times because of the human factor. If care is not properly take one may even appear to look stupid.
As far as we alive mouth must talk, even Jesus was spoken of who we be?
That is just the truth. When you put all of what people say to your mind BP will kill ohh.
Thanks for your comments
Sometimes you don't need to do anything bad for people to say rubbish about you. It's pure jealousy at times
Yeah. People just get jealous for no reason. But we need to keep pushing despite all.
Thanks alot
