Anybody agree with this saying?
"I'd rather be hated for something I am than loved for something I'm not."
I do, its what my whole life has been about. Tell me if you think its good or not, and show an example of something having to do with it if you follow it.
Answer:
yes, i do agree. you know, only stupid people love to be loved for something they have been not. an example? when you are not that good in math and then you make your friend answer your assignments just to impress somebody. then that somebody adored you, thinking that it was you who were good in math. was that good? for me, not. for you are not loved inspite of your weaknesses, but you are loved because someone thinks that there is no weakness in you at all.
so agree
yes i do.. and id rather be like that but i do act like im somethng im not..
Absolutely. It sounds like a theme to my life too. Solitude does have it's drawbacks, however..
but if u r hated for something, u should try to see what is wrong with u. specially if it comes from someone who loves u. But as long as u believe in what u r, so just be urself
I agree to a certain point but I bet a politician would not
no youre wrong. you should always try and impress other people. it doesnt matter what you think of yourself, just what others think of you.
for example, what does it matter if you think youre really good at something? if youre boss doesnt think youre good at it, youll be paid accordingly.
you think youre good and fail? youre fired.
Absolutely. I think honesty should always be a higher priority than popularity, which is basically the point the statement makes. Be who you are, not who others want you to be. Dishonesty tends to cause problems. More problems than popular dishonesty. Besides, is any love one receives on false pretenses really worth anything?
As for examples, take your pick of anyone in history who has dared to speak an unpopular truth. How about Copernicus or Galileo, who refused to believe that the sun revolved around the Earth, a widely accepted notion in their times? Or Columbus (and many educated others along with him) who insisted that the Earth is round?
This is a rather vague saying,
Example: Say you were a cheat & liar.
Everyone at sometime in their life has cheated someone or the system & told a little white lie, which makes them a cheat & a liar.
Yet would like someone to think that still they are good enough to be trusted & honest even if they don't think that highly of themselves.
I'd rather be hated for being a cheat & liar for which I am, than to be loved for being trustworthy & honest for which I am not.
Sounds like you prefer someone to look down upon you as to allow someone find some good in you even if you don't think you are.
Now I'm confused? LOL
I do agree too! It's like with the popular cliche how some people just roll with the leader of the group and they are just controlled by them. I would just hate that. You know be yourself and if you are liked for being something your not then they don't really want you or even like you.
If your in a neighborhood where your going to be hated for who you are, you need to find a better place to live!
If it's your family, consider changing your name!
Good Luck!
That should be the only way to live life. Yaaaaaa, easier said than done, but with that you will be at peace within yourself.
Love yourself before you can love others. Take care of yourself before you can take care of others.
To be something your not you would be actually decieving yourself and others. You would be living a lie.
Hell yeah that is a good saying! An example is, you being fake towards a guy(or girl) to make make him(or her) fall in love with you. months down the road they figure out your true self and end the relationship (possibly) both of you wasted your time. As opposed to being honest about your personality upfront, and never getting together and never having to deal with falling in love and breaking your heart. Always show your true personality and you will gain true friends...
Actually that is a quote from Kurt Cobain of Nirvana
"I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not."
and I agree with it too. I think it's about being true to yourself, something we should all do.
yes i do, but it has its limits.
i have a friend that is a super pervert lol and he is very open, and kinda funny about being a pervert and so with every one we hang out with its no surprise and its kinda accepted and ( amazingly ) its cool with alot of women. but i think that if he was to pretend he was a very conservative guy, he wouldnt have half the fun he has now ( once again amazingly ) and he would prob have to have a whole nother set of fake friends that he might or might not like.
Choosing a preference for either one is preferring ignorance in others.
First, the obvious ignorance of another loving you for something that you're not.
Second, the ignorance of hatred. Hatred is based on fear. Such fear has nothing to do with you, but with the one who is fearing. Fear which is translated into hatred towards you, reflects ignorance on the part of the hater, and is not your concern.
When you prefer it, you become involved in a process of condoning ignorance.

I agree. I'd rather people(including co-workers and managers) know where I stand and what I believe. I was picked on until the 6th grade because of that. Then all of a sudden at the end of the year I was voted on of the nicest and most popular students. Somebody came up to me and told me that they liked that I was a friend to them even though they were mean to me. Several years ago at work almost nobody talked to me because I was friends with someone in particular. A couple of years later I found out they were a liar and a brown-noser and I quit being around them. I admitted to my co-workers I hadn't realized what was going on , they believed me, and started talking to me again. Neither situation was fun, but I was doing what I thought was right until I found out whether or not I was in the wrong.
