To those of us – and this includes just about everyone – who
feel deeply and have been hurt by someone we love, I'll repeat something that a
wise friend very recently told me.
*First, do not keep records and accounts of what you feel is
owed to you.
*Second, do not expect people to appreciate what you do.
It's okay if they don't.
*Third, give unconditionally anyway. I know it sounds like
platitude, but I really do believe in it--and was glad for the reminder.
My comment in bold.
FIRST: You are a business
man who sells books, lectures, etc. Do you feel that people who buy your things
must not pay for your “knowledge”? Do you give your products free? Please make
it simple: tell us what we own to you. Thanks in advance.
SECOND: Why should
people appreciate what you do or what I do? Why should people believe what you
say, (and sell) without giving evidences? Why should people like your
portraits? Is not enough to show your face a couple of times? (…sorry but it
looks like an Ego trip.)
THIRD: Please inform
us about what you give unconditionally. Oh sorry…thanks for your hundreds of
Richard Dolan pictures. By the way, you are a “public figure” right? I see…
