Greetings - Some People Inspire, Others Conspire

Originally Published on March 23, 2024

Hi, Taehyung-ah 😊🤗 How are you today? I hope that you’re doing great and that you’re healthy. I hope you’re able to get a good rest for the weekend. But since you have just released your single, FRI(END)S, it is only understandable if you get both enthusiastic and worried about any updates for your song. As always, you’re doing amazing, Taehyung-ah, and we’re all happy and proud of you.

Despite all the sabotage you’ve been facing for this and your past releases, you’re still able to make it outstandingly. Here’s a quote for us today: “Whilst some people inspire, others conspire!” - Ernest Agyemang Yeboah.

I have already written about the mentality of dirty, dark people who love to gossip and scheme against others and that it’s envy and control that’s their motivation behind their stupid, evil actions. They can’t accept others standing out (envy) nor can they accept others who are an inconvenience for them (control). How shallow of them, right? But because they’re stupid and evil, that can only be expected. The problem is when these kinds of people consist the majority, and when this evil majority is going up against one person, or a few members of the “community”, and then it becomes a ground for yet another corrupt authoritative rule, run by either mockery, gossiping, or force (or all of these). 

I’ve already mentioned it to you several times before that I’ve been a victim of bullying, and that experience became my framework in judging the character of those who gossip and conspire against me, whether I’ve stirred their envy and sense of control or not.

I always know bullying is not solely blamed on the bully, but largely on the community that supports, or “agrees”, to have it by extension. Evil people who can't help being led by evil motives will justify gossiping as a way of bringing communities together. Unfortunately, it’s not the kind of community that anyone would want to live in freely and excellently, especially if they’re well-educated and got an honor to keep. It is rather a community that makes use of how they can ruin someone's reputation as proof of their status and power in the group. This is the reason why both bullies and bystanders participate in social bullying, including physical bullying. All bullying is social bullying, only that some involve physical assault.

I’ve been watching Hollywood dramas and shows while growing up, and there is always a subplot about bullying, and of course, it’s not just physical bullying but also social bullying like gossiping, at the very least, and ostracizing, at worst. I often wonder why the teenagers and adults in those shows committed bullying despite knowing it’s harmful for the person and despite having been educated against it. Although it would only seem as part of a script for a TV show or a movie, in reality, people also do it. Gossiping and conspiring against others is their real-world entertainment – the kind where they can feel good about themselves by bringing someone down. Why would they feel sorry about it if that someone is already “agreed” by the majority to be assigned the role of “bullied”, "target", and scapegoat? Surely, they're aware of those people whom they've agreed to mock, drag, and laugh at.

They engage in gossiping and other forms of social bullying and evil network because they want to earn friends, gain acceptance from others, and contribute something to that gossip community, even if that’s not something they should share. If they’re smart enough, and highly capable, to have self-confidence they wouldn’t have to step on the reputation of others just to belong to a community that will stab them behind their back, too. This is the similarity on how the seemingly “educated” and poorly educated people build networks, and why we can find toxicity even in schools. Ever wonder why we often hear of bullying in schools and workplaces, not just crimes committed in neighborhoods? People who have a large role to play, or an image to keep, in gossip communities will always say something just to stay relevant. Negativity should be cut out and not fueled by another negativity, but it’s the kind of entertainment they enjoy and feel so engaged and involved in so we know why tiny mishaps will turn into a full-fledge disqualification from the entire community later on.

As you can see, that’s what’s happening in the environments I’ve been living in. Today, my roommates and landlady went up against me and yelling at me together, just like what my previous neighbor, landlady, janitor, and another gossiping neighbor did. They clearly didn’t have to do that unless they were already motivated to crush me as the ultimate result of the negative momentum they’ve created from gossiping and conspiring against me. Not only that, the other people from other rooms, especially the boys downstairs whom I kept complaining before because of too much noise they’re making, have become even louder. They’ve got the go signal to do that since more and more people are now on their side. One of the boys even said loudly how I was taking all the drinking water as I was passing by and when I looked at them, they were bowing down like cats, and then saying another mocking words loudly again when I went on my way. So stupid and cowardly for these boys. Night came and they were shouting loudly outside.

I haven’t heard of the landlady shouting at them like what she did to me when I complained about their noise before. And yet I was shouted at by her for a reasonable and smart reason regarding my own security, just because one of their gossiping kind gave her the motivation to do so. Can you see just how stupid and lowly these people are? In your context, I should say, they’re like your anti-fans who are so obsessed with you for their bad entertainment.

It would be very wonderful to meet people who inspire, not conspire. If you’ve found them, keep them, Taehyung-ah. You’re safe to be with them, and you can surely succeed in whatever you do when you’re in their presence.

I love you so much, Taehyung-ah. I, and so many of your fans and armys, love you so much. May you never stop believing in that. May you always be assured of our love and support for you and know that when it comes to us, you don’t have to do anything unlike you. May you always find the best in you, or the best way to express your ingenuity in every situation, and be happy and proud. There will always be so many among us who can see how amazing you are in each time. I hope you’ll cut the things, people, and situations that make you sad and obscured. Don’t be sorry for being yourself. Always remember you are always loved. Borahae, Saranghae, Taehyung-ah. 💖💖💖🤍🤍🤍💜💜💜
