THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING HATED

“A glow-worm, haunted by a snake, asked: I’m not in your food chain, I’ve never hurt you… Why do you want to eat me? - “BECAUSE I CAN’T STAND YOUR GLOW.”

“The snake got dazzled, started salivating and died poisoned by its own venom.”

How important is the apparently insignificant glow-worm to the snake. Otherwise it wouldn’t matter if it’s not even a threat…. Or is it?

Luckily, nowadays snakes’ poison is not mortal. So, having seen enough unfair, undeserved hate, to recognize it, to understand it, and to learn that it is possible to walk away from it with a smile; the glow-worm kept walking its own way while thinking: “I’m so important to you that you will spend all your energy trying to destroy me. But you’re not important enough for me to waste a second or a beam of my glow in your negativity. I have much better things to do”.

This is for all my glow-worms. I won’t name you, because the list is long and you perfectly know who you are. But thanks to all of you for lighting me up with your glow.

Although it’s been long since I studied law, and I don’t have a hint on entertainment, but as long as I handle personal particulars in my job, and I know they’re legally protected, as it is people’s privacy, let me point something out, regarding James Marsters concert cancellation on the Rift.

• We were offered a refund, or an alternative entertainment for the part of the event that was cancelled.
• We were also given a reason why, and I don’t think this is mandatory.
• He apologized and explained himself when he really needn’t. No person has any obligation to publicly share the nature of their illness.

I don’t doubt it was something that really kept him out of the stage. I’ve seen this man playing guitar with a broken finger, so I respect his professionalism and his decisions.

For the rest of the gigs, obviously concerts are not brain surgery, but the man did his job, and people (including me) had a good time. All I’m saying is that it’s better to focus in the good things everyone has, and that the ones that don’t want to do anything positive, shouldn’t get in the way of those that at least are trying.

And if anybody wants to talk about lies I suggest politics as a much better and juicy subject.
