Relevance

This will be a short post.  I wasn't planning on doing any posts this holiday weekend, but I will do this one.

I was reflecting on the fandom sites reactions to Good Omens 3 and social media agenda to cancel culture things, today.  And I was realizing that it really doesn't matter what the "critics" ( well named) say about it.  In the end, it was a product of art, and the true fans will appreciate it. I know I did.

And, I was thinking how often, lately, that I have posted something or felt something and didn't have an immediate response by viewer stats that I had expected.  But, I knew that what I felt and said was a striking of a true cord, so.. I let it be.  And, in the days that followed the stats would bend to support my position.  However, that wan't the point of the pst and isn't ever the point. I don't post to be popular.  If I was, I would pick far less controversial things to say.

So, the ENTIRE point of this post which I will say and then leave is that you must always consider the relevance level of your critics.  In the end of days, you have yourself.  If you believe in yourself, that level does not include those that would never approve of who you happen to be.  So, you must consider the relevance of your objectors and whether they actually... matter.

I mean, seriously.. who takes the time to take issue with things of which they don't approve, as if their opinion has any bearing on those who they already disapprove.  But, I would simply say, consider the relevance of those that find fault with you.  Ultimately, if you approve of yourself, their criticism is more important to exclude them as a potential than it is for changing who you choose to be.  And , that is ultimately a case for always being transparent.

However, to being this back in line for Memorial Day, remember that people once loved you for who you are and fought for your right to be different.  Don't let them down, now.  Be yourself.  It is the fastest way to make sure who loves you for who you are and who liked you for what you can do.  

Happy Memorial Day.  This is my final post til after it is over.
