Life Lesson Learned

I am not one to be cynical in a time of such great promise, but this is truly sad. I recently received an insulting comment on one of my YouTube videos and went through the usual routine of blocking the sender and removing it from the comments listing. Before deleting it, I felt the need to capture it with my Nokia E71 and share just how ignorant and crass people can be when they are online and out of sight! After receiving a number of comments like this I have admittedly become numb to them and thought it best to just ignore them, until now.

There is much hurt and anger that can come from seeing something like this in my personal inbox, but nothing can be helped if I recklessly give in to those feelings. In a situation like this it is better to recognize that there is always a presence of negativity to balance out the positivity, much like an eternal equilibrium of some sort. There can be no dawn without the dark, no new growth without the ashes, no healing without the wound.

The only thing I can do at this point is recognize that the poster of such a comment has no idea of who I am as as individual, thus there are no specific grounds for it. It is also better to realize that to live life without any sort of stress or trouble is indeed a far-fetched dream that will never have the opportunity of coming true. With this in mind I can only move on with life with the purpose of looking forward. Another life lesson learned.
