quick thought
    #10323182 - 05/11/09 04:19 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

Seems like negativity is like a cancer or a disease of our consciousness because to me, it definitely seems like it spreads or is contagious...it feels like feeds off a part of us, and the negativity tries to, and usually does, corrupt those around it

Now I have heard that we stay negative because we are more comfortable with that mindstate because it offers us comfort and security. 
What do you think about that idea?

Do we dwell in a negative and suffering-prone state of mind because of comfort and security?

Pretty sure a positive attitude provides more comfort and security than a negative one.

I try to never be negative about a situation. Once you realize that 99% of the bullshit in your life is not worth worrying about it helps alot on your general outlook. I also won't associate myself with people that are always negative because like you said a negative vibe can bring down anyone around it.

If we thought positively about everything that would lead to our own self-destruction.

Yes, all I'm trying to say is that both mindsets are necessary.

Agreed.


I think certain people stay in negative mind sets because they become used to it, and humans are creatures of habit. It's not the mindset that offers us security, it is the repetitive patterns.
