A positive, peace & love mentality & attitude

An early morning preacher’s sermon that I recently accidentally listened to (after waking up suddenly and realizing that I had forgotten to switch off the radio) appealed to people to wake up daily holding peace and love in their hearts.

.. According to him even objects, such a lit electric power bulb, emit light and heat seeing that this is what is within them.

He affirmed that people can only give what they have in their mind, souls and even pockets…

… If they have negative thoughts and desires that is what they shall eventually emit to the outside world.

This assertion got me thinking about the damaging effects of negative energy in some people.

If one has been present in a sitting with a sulky, always annoyed person and who is always complaining about people who hate him or her and implying that his or her current predicaments are caused by his or her ‘haters’ then one can easily identify…

Such sulky, negative and evidently annoyed people take any chance they get to talk ill of almost everybody else or situations and especially of their perceived ‘enemies’ and unfortunately, almost every person seems to be their enemy.. ..

So at every available opportunity, they are very keen to slander others, their enemies particularly and evidently their demeanor tells in black & white that they would want their audience to join their bandwagon and also start hating the perceived ‘haters’.

… And another trait…. they tend not to listen to any other divergent opinion and even a rejoinder perhaps meant to clarify points on the perceived ‘haters’ and even go on to even higher tones to rebuff an opinion that may be contrary…

.. Indeed, it is like they are out to covert every other person to equally hate the perceived ‘haters’ of the mover of the motion…

The above mentioned preacher also reminded me of the another ‘digital’ counselor who had also earlier asserted that forgiveness may appear a difficult thing to do or offer to others.

Yet, it is a self redeeming act that helps to make people who forgive humble.

When an offended party humbles itself and opts to forgive, it not only learns the art of humbleness and forgiveness but also removes the ‘burden’ of holding grudges.

According to the counselor, holding many accumulated grudges is quite a heavy burden that can indeed further manifest physically….

She asserted that some people who hardly forgive and forget may end up, subconsciously, with stooping bodily and emotional postures…

Tending to daily stoop as they walk, sit, think and even express their feelings…

Sadly, such people end up in a vicious cycle of hate, bitterness and sadness. Since their attitude and mannerisms  always gives negativity and sadness, they tend to repel other humans…

On the contrary, other people who prefer to see the bright side of life and are enthusiastic to live and love and are keen to forgive and forget and to mind their own affairs not dwelling on the wrongs that may have been done to them and others, will avoid these negative, sulky persons….

Eventually, the negative souls in this conversation will happen to have very few friends….

And as the saying– ‘birds of the same feathers flock together’ asserts, the sulky ever annoyed people will undoubtedly also attract like-minded people…..

Perhaps this explains why we need a movement or movements that will teach people life skills and especially those skills that can help them to embrace, first, self love for self redemption and then love for others and communities and the virtues and values that promote positivity and love and peace and especially peace of mind and soul…
