LOVE THE WORLD...EVEN WHEN IT HATES YOU BACK?!? (Repost from Jan 2011)

Feels like I've been gone a while...I mean...I have...but most of my time has been figuring out people in my life...those close to me and those that are associates. I think 2011 is the year to cut ties with people and start looking out for what I can do to further myself beyond my expectations. Most people don't understand when you're there for them and if you don't give them the answers they are looking for...they get negative with you...I've been subjected to putting people first all my life, but at times you get tired when others decide not to lend a hand or say I'm sorry in return for putting you less on their totem pole/radar then you deserve to be. I say "you" for those that sympathize with me. I feel like I've supported a lot of people...it's like being a back up singer to R Kelly...waiting to get the chance to take front & center stage...yet no one acknowledges you...because your voice is lost in the background to those you support. I'm always going to be the nice guy, but I think it's time to be a little more selfish. Am I wrong for feeling that way? A motto I have is "Love the world, even when it hates you back", which I clearly do...but...it doesn't mean I should leave myself open to experience backlash or griminess.
