In life, there's always someone who feels uneasy and unhappy of what you've become and they will do their best to drag you. But well, just let them be. Those people are like seasonings in our life. They give us extra challenges for us to be much more successful and for them to hate us even more.
In a story there is always a villain to make the story more challenging and to alive the audience and food needs seasoning to make it palatable, and so with our life. Without villains life would be boring and without seasoning will never be inspired.
