When I first started reading fiction, one of the first authors I picked has mixed reviews on the internet.
Some of the readers love their books, others despise their books to the point of exponential hate.
However, when I first picked their bestsellers, I liked them. As I devoured more into the other works of the same author, I understood why there are some mixed reviews on the internet. Some of them, for sane reasons.
This is also a fundamental life principle. ‘We all have dark sides and bright sides. A multimillion copy bestselling author might also be hated by a reading community.
But this is not just about celebrities.
We all have our dark sides. The parts of ourselves that make us less happy, more cringe, and overall mood plummet.
The best part is, choosing what to do with your life is living a life of high-agency. You can learn to dance with those dark sides, so that either they do not end up making you lose so much in life, or they do not appear at all.
The greatest development that could emerge from the shadows of someone else, is the shining of your own beauty. Opportunists rock when they let the dooms of others decode lesser distress for themselves.
