Throughout my life, I have touched a lot of negativity in the society. When I say negativity, I don't just mean people who are always complaining about how difficult life is. I realized that many people have a negative mindset in regard to the society or even themselves. When i meet someone new, I Like to ask this question: "How can you describe yourself?" To my surprise, many people start insulting themselves. I hear a lot of things like, "I'm a failure in life, I'm a procrastinator, I'm lazy, I'm ugly, I'm fat, I'm stupid ."I think to myself "Whoa, hold your horses; I didn't ask you to humiliate yourself in front of someone you've just met". When they are done with what i like to call "self-harm", I look at them, shocked, and I say, "Are you done? Did you realize that you haven't described any good quality about yourself?" I mean, we are humans, we must have a good and a bad side! So, I realized that people are too consumed by the negativity to an extent that they sometimes forget to see the bright side of stuff. People feel shy exposing the good side of them. I guess they don't want to come off as arrogant. However, they come off as negative people with low self confidence. Another aspect of negativity: "They forget the thousand good you did and always remember the one mistake you did." ~ BUNIQ Some people who regard themselves in a negative manner would definitely regard others in a negative manner. You have to love yourself before you learn to love others. Why do we always have to remember that one thing that went wrong, and forget the many things that went well. We do not appreciate God's too many little gifts that he instills in our lives everyday. When we don't appreciate good health, safe home, enough food, and everything God gives us, we won't learn to appreciate other humans. Be Positive, live better!
