Here's a new segment that I'm going to call Crit. Sure, it's not right just to criticize someone who's right or thinks he/she is right..
But here, I believe that I have good intentions for doing it.
"When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them anyway."
This is a quote from Marilyn Monroe that a Facebook friend posted as her bio. The first part is a decent section. She's mature to the point where she doesn't care about what people say or think about her. Good for you, girl.
However, the second part makes me a bit worried. What if I WANT to bother with what you do just because I'm interested? In her mind, that behavior alone justifies her superiority over someone? Apparently, she sees herself as superior and isolated from those who want to bother her.
Well, you can argue that the usage of bother is very vague. It could be bother as in annoying or constantly getting in the way.. That I can understand. The bother that I'm "bothering" about is when caring about someone is replaced with bother. Ex: "Oh, I want to bother you because you're so interesting!"
I hope that it's the annoying bother. If it's the latter, then that quote is messed up.
