Similar to the mistake of thinking that I “like to argue” (summary: I don’t. I “like” it the way Batman “likes” fighting crime: i’d retire from it immediately if I were presented with no conflict to push back towards) is the “you like to cause trouble” notion that is equally false. The “you love your haters” thing has never been true. I’ve never revelled in having haters. I believe a number of the people who say they do, but I don’t understand them. I don’t want a single person on the planet to even marginally dislike me, let alone hate me. but when someone does – of course i’m gonna play with it, spotlight it, push back, etc. Lemons and lemonade, and all that. That is different than liking people being jerks for no reason.
I don’t enjoy poking hornets nests. Well, not figuratively anyway. In real life – ya, that’s fun (fuck hornets). But metaphorically – I leave all insects alone unless they sting me.
I never seek conflict. I want only to love everyone and have everyone love me.
Know this.
