I have been thinking about this for a long time.
I think there are 2 kinds of people in this world. Each group has been labeled different things throughout time. Positive and negative. Yin and Yang. Push and Pull. You may say, ummm those are the governing bodies of energy in the universe, and you'd be right.
I believe people have limitless potential, and as such can, and do, embody these universal energies.
People are as diverse as they are abundant. I have noticed there are 2 kinds of people. (in general. I am a firm believer that there are exceptions to every rule)
I'm going to use the terms 'positive' and 'negative' in this thought. Please note, positive and negative in this context does NOT equal good and bad. There is a need for both sides to find balance.
Negative people see the world as it applies directly to them. These people will react to every situation in life based on if it will be good or bad to them directly, and the rest of the consideration comes after themselves.
Positive people see a situation as it affects the direct parties first, then apply it to themselves.
So an example of this would be:
"we rented a movie"
Negative reaction: I don't think that looks like a good movie, can't we watch something else?
Positive reaction: If thats what everybody wants to watch, sure, that sounds good, even if it didn't look that great to me. At least i'll enjoy the company i'm in.
"My friend just found out she's allergic to wheat"
Negative reaction: Great, now we'll have to eat at the weirdest spots when she's with us.
Positive Reaction: Well i'm glad she found out before something really bad happened.
I want to re-iterate. I am not trying to insult anybody here. Ultimately everything we do is in response to how something will affect us. The difference is that a positive person will put another persons consideration above their own. Notice i said consideration, not need.
I strive to be a positive person. I understand other people are free to live the way they choose, and even if i wanted to, i can't force anybody to feel the way i think they should, nor would i want to change their feelings even if i could. Humans are SUPPOSED to be different. Our diversity makes us beautiful, capable, and limitless.
I hope you are having a great day! I hope that if somebody else has a bad day that we can get around ourselves to help that person have a better day! Picture a world where people are honest, caring, and positive. thats where i want to be, and rather than forcing that on others, i'll live the way i think is best, and let everybody else do the same! :D
