You Cannot Prove a Negative or a Positive Anymore

Often when people are accused of something they cannot prove a negative. In other words you cannot prove that you did not do something that you didn't do. Recently, someone accused me of my résumé and told me I could not prove what I had done in the past.

In fact, I could prove it but it would take a lot of time on my part to prove it and it would be no reason to prove it to someone who e-mailed me and called me a liar.

I asked the gentleman; Are you saying that you cannot prove a negative or a positive? What does that say for mankind? If someone slanders your name you cannot prove you did not kick your dog. If you do something positive you are saying that reality is no proof either? There is a verifiable way to prove it, except that it would be time-consuming.

The gentle men and accused me of tooting my own horn. It is not as if I placed something on my résumé which was not true such as a college degree which I did not earn but bought in the mail order, as many people have done. I only tell people a small percentage of my abilities. I down play my abilities, successes, etc. and quite frankly I am getting a little tired of it, always pretending to be less than what I am, as to not offend anyone.

You see, someone who works very hard and harder than anyone else and carries more than anyone else will often have one incredible résumé at a very early age from all that they have done. That is just the way it is, as if you are always doing something you are always accomplishing something and eventually the credits add up.

Yet, the more you do the more you were attacked. I asked myself why and I believe it is because most Humans do not try very hard and are quite lazy. I cannot list everything I have done, can do or will do in the future, who would believe me? I suppose compared to the average person many of my accomplishments do not look feasible even if I can prove it, why should I?
