Buddy for what it's worth .. my opinion is that you do not "try to ignore" your detractors, just bless them. Silently, openly, literally; just bless them. As you yourself have said many times, this entire thing is just a video game. It's like a movie projection onto the big screen ... some people just get more caught up in it than film than others. Some people CHOOSE to see more of their pain, unhappiness and discontent in the projection than others. Anyone who could, by any stretch of the imagination, be vitriolic towards you is like a small child having a tantrum because they dropped their ice cream and the movie didn't play out in the way they had hoped (even though they're the ones who created it). It should not require ANY energy at all from you .. that's their reality, not yours. Your movie is a much prettier one ; ). lf someone expresses negativity towards you, just remember that their experience/version of this grand theatrical production we call life is just not as fun as yours. Bless them, pray for them (pray that it gets better ;) and continue to shine your light. You will inevitably brighten more darkness than they can ever cast in shade. It's like your risk-to-reward scenarios. YOU are the 47%.. they are the 2.7%. Thanks as ever. We love you and keep on shining your light!
