Does it matter what strangers think of you? Do you care if everyone likes you or are you content just being yourself? Write a paragraph explaining your answer.

Use Your Love to Behave

Firstly, being a person who everyone also likes is actually difficulty. Nobody is almost good or perfect, so nobody could be integrated with all other persons. That is the reason why a person could only have a few closed friends, or all people surrounding you could not be your closed friends. As a result, if someone hates you, that is not strange things. Simply, they are not in harmony with you. Secondly, I think there are always a good side and a bad side in one person. The good side make people come closer and the bad side make them far away or to have some evil thoughts to another. Fortunately, if someone like you, by your good side, you should persist this wonderful relationship. Unfortunately, on recent day, your friends might change their habits or tastes. This make your former relationship worse step by step or broken. That is not your mistake, even if they could hate you. With two points above, you should remember that you should behave with all your love to others or your works. If you are proud of your kindness, you should not worry about some strangers think of you. Even if they also hate you, you should be not sad or worried. Because some days later, they will overall realize that you are a kind person. All in all, keeping your kindness is a difficult duty in tiring life to have some fantastic relationships.
