Eh, haters gonna hate regardless. They’ll find a way to hate the “nothing” too.
I s’pose that’s true… But I guess if they’re gonna hate no matter what, might as well just do you.
Oh I agree with that. I disagree with the premise that doing/being nothing is an effective way to avoid criticism.
Perhaps Aristotle was being sarcastic…

We need to try to grow a thick skin and cultivate a soft heart at the same time.
Yes, it’s an ongoing challenge, Lesley, isn’t it?

It certainly is, David. I’ve always had the soft heart, but I struggle with the thick skin bit.
I suppose with criticism, it depends on the spirit in which it’s given.
Being incredibly naive (or incredibly thick!), I’ve just got the point of the quote, David! Duh! 🙂

One might as well be dead. I’m sure that’s the premise of the quote. No matter what you do, criticism will arise. Thank you for sharing this one
trE, I suppose you might as well just do you – somebody’s gonna hate no matter what, right?

Exactly!

Great share. I would rather do and be and take a little heat.
Me too 🙂
Little trouble-makers we are. 😉
Basho running
with the children
in a hail storm
in a roundabout way your Aristotle reminded me of this today, David, – as I am reading Robert Aitken’s way of reading Basho. Centuries and worlds away from Aristotle, Basho in his being gets quite close to Being.
what a joy
run home on my bike
now a nap – sun is out
