A Controversial Quotation?
André Paul Guillaume Gide:
Gide was a French author and winner of the Nobel Prize in literature in 1947. He is known for his fiction as well as his autobiographical works, he exposes to public view the conflict and eventual reconciliation between the two sides of his personality, split apart by a straight-laced education and a narrow social moralism.
Gide's work can be seen as an investigation of freedom and empowerment in the face of moralistic and puritan constraints, and gravitates around his continuous effort to achieve intellectual honesty. His self-exploratory texts reflect his search of how to be fully oneself, even to the point of owning one's sexual nature, without at the same time betraying one's values.

What happens with him...that once he wrote this quote:
"It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not."
So, now I want to know your opinion: Do you believe that? What you think about it?...just express yourself.... ;D

Bueno! de todas las personas que lean esto yo sere la mas complacida, porque se que la frase que tengo en mi msn te choco y te conmovio... la verdad es que es totalmente cierto lo que este caballero dijo alguna vez...
Yo de carne y hueso y con miles de defectos, prefiero que me odies por ellos y por mis virtudes a que yo te quiera por la pantalla que lograste que yo viera en ti...
En conclusion es un llamado a la genuinidad a la simplicidad a lo claro a mostrar de nosotros la realidad misma por mas fea o hermosa que sea, eso que somos es lo que somos y asi sera aunque no querramos que asi sea.
Un abrazo!
It all depends on how you feel about yourself. If you feel good about yourself, then others will have to learn to appreciate you for who you are. The fact that you are honest with yourself and are not trying to be someone your not, just to fit in, shows character.
para mi eso esta algo vacio..porque no neceitas que nadie te haga sentir bien, si eres feliz contigo mismo basta porque lo vas a reflejar sin darte cuenta...
my two cents!!
I think is true but also depends how u behave bein urself. No matter what others think or say about u that should never make u ashame of who or what u are, Be urself and show who u really are...would make u happier.

Si fuera tan facil como eso, pero la vida es un balance de blanco y negro,no hay noche sin dia, ahi momentos donde no aplica el ser tu mismo, ahi veces donde no aplica las pantallas, callas cosas, te arrepientes de cosas, haces mal, haces bien, sabiendo y sin.
La verdad es que eres algo q no conoces y no controlas 100%.
Ser o no ser, nadie sabe de verdad quien es, nos pasamos la vida buscando y por eso somos lo q buscamos, pero no encontramos.
