A word to the wise...allow me to wax philosophical on haters for a moment my brothers.
There is one universal truth when it comes to haters. Haters are gonna' hate. What are you going to do about it?
Now I've seen many get bent out of shape, ruffle their feathers, and loose their cool at the whims of a hater. Some will snap back with the most hurtful thing they can think of. Some will resort to the way of the fist. Some will internalize and beat themselves up all day and night.
That's just what they want. A hater, you see, is jonesin' for that spot. That spot that you have. Something came along and they decided, "Damn, that bugs me so much, I am going to devote my energies to hating them." They will whisper in dark places, and collaborate with those who share their mindset.
The leader of the pack, the alpha male, the top dog...do you see them worry about that dog that's second in line nipping at their heels? Hell no, they've got their eye on the prize. For a long time now, they have been chipping away, laboring and toiling for their piece of the pie. And they got it...and they didn't get there by hating on the guy in front of them. They strove to be better, to be the biggest, to be the baddest. They focused inward and tore themselves down, and rebuilt into a new monster.
This is what they have devoted their energies to.
Have you ever seen Ronnie Coleman on the message boards bickering about someone who's hating on him? And a great many there are. Nope. He's got his agenda all laid out, and it does not include wasting his time and talents on nonsense.
What do I want you to come away with? Shake them haters off. Next time someone calls you out, cool your heels. Keep it together. And laugh, and laugh, and laugh. Keep your fuckin' eyes on the prize my brothers, and don't change your focus for any man or beast.
Now, I'll say again. There is one universal truth when it comes to haters. Haters are gonna' hate. What are you going to do about it?
