Might as Well Say It Part 3: The Gross Misuse of the Term "Hater"

Ok, so you know its PAST the time where it had to be said, and since I'm here, I might as well say it:
YOU DO NOT HAVE HATERS
Yes, I am talking to you.
Dont look around, YOU! You sitting in front of your computer/cell phone/ipad or whatever platform that you are using to view this right now. Yes you.
You do not have "haters" because no one cares enough about you to hate you. No one spends enough time and energy it takes to actually hate a person. Believe me, you spend more time "shaking haters off" than anyone would spend trying to be "on" you.
At some point in time, some rapper thought it would be cool to coin the phrase "hater" to describe all people who do not agree with his/her lifestyle and who dared to speak out against him. Dismissing this person as a hater simultaneously makes himself feel important and validates whatever he does as "right". And, just like most hip-hop-ignorance, it trickled down into the communities. Now people will call darn near anyone a hater. Anyone who doesnt agree with them or who disapproves of their lifestyles or who tries to give them any advice that is contrary to what they want to do, that person is automatically a hater.
News Flash
This just in: you are not right all of the time. No one is. Dismissing someone as a hater does not make you right nor does it validate your stupidity.
Instead of telling someone that they are "hating" on you, why dont you ask yourself why they would be giving you advice/telling you something that is the opposite of what you are currently doing...could it be (gasp) that they CARE about you? Or maybe they just want to see you fail. That doesnt mean that they are "hating" on you, it just means that they dont like you. (maybe its because you keep calling them a hater)
Now, lets put this into perspective:
The Jews had haters. They were called the Nazis. And the Nazis attempted to wipe them off the face of the earth. (now thats true hate)
Do you know anyone whose sole purpose in life is to wipe you off the face of the earth? no? then you dont have haters.
I bet that right now youre calling me a "hater" or saying I'm jealous because I have no "haters". Well, youre right about one point: I dont have haters. I wouldnt want to have someone who solely exists to send me bad vibes. Actually, people tend to love me and I prefer it that way. And, for the record, I am not a hater. I actually dont care about you. Not one lick. And I prefer it that way.
Stay tuned.
truth, the whole and nuttin but
