Negativity

Here is the problem with our times: negativity. How does negativity preempt the positive? Easily, by having a steady and purposeful stream of the negative that overwhelms anything near the positive. It takes time to do this so we have to diagnose what occupies our time. To do this we look toward the influences of, not so much us, but the time we spend doing. Like pollution in a once clear stream we need to find the pollution’s insertion point and stem the flow at that source, that doing.

Where do we spend our time that we come away from feeling down, angry, or dissatisfied. Each of these feeds on the other if we don’t have balance. Each of these is more prevalent than it ever has been on Earth. WE invented it and use it to our peril, TV-Internet. Balance is of the birds. What do I mean by that, of the birds. Simple as simplicity we need to stop eating poison with our eyes and go outside. Turn off the power and find the birds. They will be outside and doing what they always do. Not watching the news, not listening to what other people say is right or wrong but making simple decisions on what comes next on their daily course for a comfortable survival.

It isn’t any more difficult than going for a walk and tuning into what nature brings you. It’s the old, “natural” suggestion of the Hippies. This was one thing they were right about. The rest of their drivel? Not so much. Yeah, I was there.
