You have to be careful because those feelings and bitterness can take over and consume in a bad way.
Jim GoadThe idea that the reader is important enough to me that I'd tailor my words to either please or offend them always seems amusingly alien to me.
Jim GoadA lot of people expend great time and effort explaining why they don't like me, but none of them ever try to explain why their opinion should matter to me. I think most of them sense, but would never be brave enough to admit, their subordinate role in the food chain relative to me.
Jim GoadBeware of anyone who calls you bad names merely for asking honest questions. Beware of anyone who insists on reframing your sincere curiosity as a character defect. Beware of anyone who questions your motives while ignoring your facts. When someone calls you bad names merely for asking questions, it suggests they know the answer but are terrified to admit it.
