Chun (Chunbum Park)

Today I received a hate call from an anonymous person who left a voice message with the "n" word repeating three times.

It was so terrible and low-class that I did not bother to respond to that person.

Why can't everyone see the merits of my art and life lived? Perhaps it's because they are not at the higher level of existence to appreciate me just yet for who I am and what I may achieve.

Inside their head, I could sense the fear that I would disprove them and their accusations that I am mediocre or unworthy. I could sense their fear that I am growing too big and too strong for their taste.

All the con artists, hackers, and spies trying to hurt me by stealing my information or poisoning me with gaseous substance in the bus or subway have failed. I just open the window and wear an N94 mask, which neutralizes most of their effort. And if I don't do this, I get very sick and start throwing up, so I know it's not something that I am imagining. I am literally being targeted by a secret organization or a government entity that I cannot name.

I can understand why they are so angry at me and want to hurt me so bad.

They thought I would be an easy prey, but I am the apex predator, sucking up all of their money, time, and energy like an indestructible black hole.

They think I am young and vulnerable. That may be true. I am a young tiger as of now. My art has not been given the necessary attention that it deserves.

But eventually the tiger grows bigger and stronger. It is able to fight back and hunt down the bigger and often more numerous enemies.

The tiger fights alone. It is one versus many, but it is a battle that shall be won lucidly. The good shall win over the bad in the war of the cosmos.

Magna est veritas et praevalebit. Truth is great and shall triumph.
