Limbaugh Life Lesson: Dont Worry About What Other People Think – Rush Limbaugh

TODD: I would have loved to have watched the eyes of an NPR reporter grow like to basketball size when Rush employed one of his many valuable life lessons in answering her question of him, and heres Rush describing that and more.

RUSH: You know, if I could wave a magic wand and change people, it would be dont worry about what people think of you, particularly people that dont know you. People that dont know you, it doesnt matter what they think. You and what you think of yourself is what matters, and if somebody thinks things about you that arent true, forget it. Nothing you can do about it, and its a total waste of time to try to change that.

I occasionally get e-mails from people: Rush, dont you care what theyre saying about you on X? Why, its outrageous what theyre saying about you! Yeah, sometimes I do, but most of the time I dont. It happens too much to get worried about it and be affected by it. But I did an NPR interview. One of the questions that the reporter from NPR asked me was, You use terms like feminazi. You throw these things around. Dont you worry about it bothering people? This is the answer that I gave.

RUSH ARCHIVE: The fewest number of words you can use to convey a point, the more power the point has. Now, I understand people are going to be offended, but Ive had a policy all my life not to worry about offending people because its going to happen. Its a daily part of life. I think way too many people are way too sensitive walking around just waiting to be offended, and I think a bunch of people claiming theyre offended is really an attack on free speech.

It is the root cause of political correctness, which is nothing more than silencing things you dont want to hear when uttered by others, so, That offends me! I will not sit here and put up with that! I dont grant people that much power to offend me. Things said about me or the things I like Im not going to waste time being offended by it. Lifes too short, and its just words!

RUSH: Plus, my life is fulfilling. Im not wallowing in misery, thinking, Everybody else thinks Im a dork, because I know Im a dork, which is the attitude so many people have. Theyre just miserable. They get offended and they run around saying theyre offended, and they try to shut people up because theyre offending them and its just because theyve got nothing else to fulfill their lives! You know, theyre basically empty and meaningless. If you have a fulfilling life and youre occupied and doing what you like, these things are minor, especially when you know that it comes with the territory.

TODD: So as we enter into this experiment together of asking these absurd questions, making these absurd points in school board meetings, in zoning meetings, at dinner with friends, its not a natural dynamic in the world that Look, theres a bunch of people you probably dont like. I try not to hate anybody. I really do. I try really hard to not do that.

Theres people I dont like as much as others. Theres just people I dont like. Natural. Natural human equation. Whats not natural is multiplication of the numbers of dislikes on social media, et cetera. We need to be okay being uncomfortable, because we had better start making leftists uncomfortable by asking them questions, forcing them to live in the world that theyre created for us.
