Hi, Taehyung-ah 🤗🤗🤗 How are you? I hope that things are going well for you. I’ve been trying to rest my phone and separate my personal life from the prying eyes of the nation-state stalkers. There have been so many stalkers going around me for over a year now, and they’re not just watching, they’re sabotaging me, too. When I was updating my fan website last night, they’ve been banging the doors and being very uncomfortable, so I figured again they must be sponsored by Hybe, Jimin, other exploitative businessmen, and other malicious, nefarious people. I should have done that a long time ago. I wonder if it’s raining in South Korea these days. It must be very difficult for your training. Though I love the rain, I just easily get sick. My throat has been itchy. I don’t think it will ever be possible for me to play in the rain and get soaked in it. The last time I was soaked in a rainstorm, I was shivering to death. I instinctively know something will change after it, and I think a lot of things really did change. That’s why, be healthy, Taehyung-ah. Take a lot of vitamins. Cover yourself in the cold. Avoid smoking or drinking alcohol or coffee, and all the toxins that might get into you. Avoid people who are sick, too. My immune system has always been weak since I was a child so I avoid such people who are coughing and having a cold. Because I know their immune system is stronger and they’re healthy, they can recover easily, but it won't be the case for me. I really hate callous, harmful people like that (and here, they’re doing that in public areas, because this country is still very uneducated, unprofessional, and uncivilized), and knowing they’re stalkers who are here for the very purpose of exploitation, I get even more hateful and degrading towards them. I have heard BTS and Hybe making fun of “intention”, specifically of good intentions, before in a lot of Run BTS and Bon Voyage episodes, and the outsourcing scam business in our country has influenced their employees to take the result as the criterion of whether something is good or not, not thinking about the means - scam, harassment, low-quality, etc. - it takes them to get that result. They missed a large portion of the equation, that tricks may be good and successful for a while, but they don’t last, because they are a cheat. They need to do something really good, valuable, and excellent, and success will come after. It isn’t instant. That’s why I look down on these stalkers and scammers because they don't have the qualifications, foundations, or the backbone to do things right, and if they’re not doing right, then they’re obviously doing wrong. And the result will surely come after, too. For many cultures, the firstborns are valued and in the Bible that’s because they have worked longer for the Lord and from their framework, others have followed. Hard work, also known as honest work in the Bible, is very valuable to God. I’ve worked with countless people from different nations before and I can really see the difference between those who want to do honest work and those who just want to exploit and scam both their customers and their employees, and they just think it’s a normal part of the business, and the more people who are like that who are surrounding you, the more limited you’ll be to do excellent work. Thankfully, their tricks don’t last, and it’s honest and excellent work that do last. “And you shall take the Levites for Me (God) - I am the Lord - instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the children of Israel.” - Numbers 3:41. “Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is neither for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out.” - Luke 14:34
