for all the wrong things

"you have enemies? good! that means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life."

i've seen this quote floating about the net for quite some time now. what do i think of it? let me share with you a little story.

i was watching a reality tv show some months back, and there was this contestant, a young man. fun-loving, devil-may-care attitude. the thing is, having fun was the only thing he cared about.

often on the show, he would play silly pranks on the other contestants in the house and piss them off. they went from liking his attitude to hating his guts.

no one was even interested in his pranks anymore. he was just doing it for his own amusement.

one day, one of the guys spoke to him and asked if he would just tone it down a little. some fun is ok, but not when everyone's getting mad, right?

no, he disagreed. "i ain't gonna change for anyone," he said. 'love me or hate me, this is who i am."

so what do i think? let's just say hitler had a lot of enemies too. i don't see many people praising him for it.
