“Samuel L. Jackson has no time or patience for 'Snakes on a Plane' haters. On April 29, Jackson took notice of a rude tweet about the film and wasted no time responding to it. “Whenever you feel bad about certain bad choices you’ve made in life, just remember @SamuelLJackson thought Snakes on a Plane was a good idea,”


“WTF does that even mean??! It’s a cult fave & your claim to fame is….???? For the record, it was a Great Idea!! Those residuals,” he [Samuel L Jackson] said.

 

Which brings me to the point of this post. . .the fact is there’s a lot of anger, frustration, boredom and suffering out in the world during covid 19 / coronavirus pandemic to make a few people start hating others.  I'm getting a few hate.




It’s the have not hating the haves, in some cases. I once heard on the street while walking, a guy kept yelling at a transit driver, “You fucking goof. You fucking goof. You get paid $40/hr you fucking goof. Watch the road when driving you fucking goof.” The guy wasn’t completely drunk, but was carrying a few bags of empty cans around but everyone ignored him including the driver.


In some situations, during the lockdown,it’s the privilege antagonizing the have-nots. [“Former AngelHack CEO Greg Gopman apologized last week for a series of posts on Facebook in which he said that homeless "trash" had no place in the "heart of our city," San Francisco. He wrote:

The difference is in other cosmopolitan cities, the lower part of society keep to themselves. They sell small trinkets, beg coyly, stay quiet, and generally stay out of your way. They realize it's a privilege to be in the civilized part of town and view themselves as guests. And that's okay.]


My advice to the privilege founders in San Francisco and all around the world, look to this moment as reason to empathize and be of assistance to others. Don’t be a fucking asshole founder during Covid 19 like some disconnected-elite-only-utopia seeking douche-bag.

Plus, don’t encourage your haters by not being empathetic that’s like fighting someone who has nothing to lose when you have loved ones, wealth and health.

Anyway below are tips when you have haters who hate you despite the love, kindness, and generosity you give to the world. Just remember even Oprah Winfrey, Samuel L Jackson, Gary Vaynerchuk has haters. God Bless!
