To Those Who Place Labels on Me and others . I used to do better, made more money and had more respect before my Native background came into the open. What is it that am I? An Indian, A person, A guy born in Texas, a guy with Jewish, Hispanic, Spanish and who knows what else relatives? I regard the entire world as my home, my place of birth. I inhabit the earth, not a particular portion of it labeled America, Germany, Holland, Greece, Argentina... I owe allegiance to mankind, not to a particular country, race, club, or people... I answer to The Creator, God, Buda, Mohamed, and all other Superior entities in this universe, not to the Chief Executive of any corporation (and for sure not to a president of any Internet Made Up Organization, no matter how International they label themselves). I am here on this earth to work out my own private world, my own destiny. My destiny is linked with that of every other living creature inhabiting this planet - perhaps with other planets, too, who knows? I refuse to jeopardize my destiny by regarding life with narrow rules which are laid by narrow minded people like these three ladies who seem to have their own little club against humanity.. too small to win, may I add. I dissent from the current view of things, as regards religion, society and those who want to close their eyes to the reality of seen that we have now a new world, a new race, a new blood and a new way to follow.. It scares me to see where all of this hate is leading to. Soon we will have a big war, so big that will end it all. I feel it coming in the minds of all of those who hate just because they want to be the only race in the world. Sorry, my Native Brothers, too many of us are in danger for your doings. Why is it - in your mind, that you think we can not allow others to be a part of what we are? (do your research and see where and what Sitting Bull, Geronimo, Black Elk and so many others great ancestors were doing showing the world what we were and in shows like Buffalo Bill and others... wake up, life is like that! like it or not, it is a new world, and we all have to live in it!) ... Show them, if you must, how this is done, but do not condemn them for what they do. I will try to live my life in accordance with the vision I have of things eternal. I say PEACE TO YOU ALL and if you don´t find it, it´s because you are too busy looking into someone's life and not within your self... or is it that you don´t like what you see in you?
Is there a logical reason for all this hate toward me and my doings?
People will hate you for achieving success because they did not make it themselves.
For some reason, certain people will view your success as meaning that you got their spot on the success roster. The reality is that anyone who really applies themselves can reach a measure of success. The problem is that it is not all talent, connections, or drive. It requires a combination of these to manage to succeed. If any of these are in short supply, the individual may not rise to be a superstar in their field.
There are many very successful people who never achieve widespread fame, but they still can be considered a success in their field. The scientist who helped put a man on the moon is a success even if the scientist never go to go there. It still would not have happened without the work of the scientist.
Some will hate those who succeed because they believe making you look smaller will make them seem larger.
By making light of the person and the success, people will try to steal some of your glory. Telling others why your success will be short-lived and is not very praiseworthy is their attempt to erode your success or keep you from rising higher. The fact is that by doing so, it will usually benefit the successful one and harm the complainer. Often a measure of this is seen in the rebuttal of presidential speeches and in the rants of television personalities trying to ride the coat tails of important people.
Successful people are often resented because they do not always reach back and help others to their level.
Not all successful people are in a position to make other successful. This is not clearly understood by those who watched them succeed. "I will remember you when I make it to the top." Most successful people would be wise to not use this phrase too often or too lightly. Those who hear it will take it as a contracted promise. When the successful person does not honor it or seems not to honor, hate will show up soon enough.
People hate successful people because they are not happy with themselves and choose to blame others.
No ones success keeps others from succeeding if they choose to go after it. In fact, most of the time as some succeed, it makes more room for others on the way up. It also establishes a career path that another might be able to follow to get to the same place. The measure of success sometimes get blurred in the minds of people. For some, fame without wealth is a failure. For others, the opposite stands true. Still others, believe that power is the key ingredient to success. Somewhere along the way happiness needs to be the main goal. Many people who are viewed as successful never achieve happiness. Many who never really seem to succeed are quite happy. Success should ultimately be measured by contentment and financial stability.
