"It's Better to be hated for who you are then be loved for who you are not". I thought it was very inspirational. What do you think of it?

Yes. Do not change to be likened by those around you. Diversity is what makes the world move. Peace.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Out upon your guarded lips! Sew them up with pockthread, do. Else if you would be a man speak what you think today in words as hard as cannon balls, and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said today. Ah, then, exclaim the aged ladies, you shall be sure to be misunderstood! Misunderstood! It is a right fool's word. Is it so bad then to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.
R.W. Emerson

Well, you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything. Personally, I'd like to stand for who I am and if people have a problem with that then it is there problem, not mine. I'd say the quote is worthy of rememberance.
