One one is successful, the others covet his success because of jealousy. The majority of humanity has the very keen ability to do absolutely nothing. Be it artistic or purely utilitarian, only a hand full of us will ever contribute a bloody thing. Thus, the teeming masses, instead of thanking the creative, resort to hate and jealousy. These primitive emotions are nothing more than minor adaptations of hate.

If you can't tell, people have been attacking my work as of late. I'd rather not release the details about it on the internet, but trust that it's very frustrating. One goes into big projects expecting satisfaction from all the creating, but people take whatever they want from context and deride the products of their fellow man's creativity. How do people deal with this, save ignore it?
