Hey, I enjoy philosophy in general, but this one is extremely intruiging
I'm somewhat unconvinced about whether or not our brain waves has an efect on our futur situations, although without a doubt there is always something negative to look at and usualy alot more positive.
The brain will look for oportunities to prove what ever it believes, so if you believe you are disliked, you will find evidence of that and will often not realise it when people do like you.
If you're range of perspectives is on what you want more of, you will follow the good that you've seen, and in term it will lead you to more of that same thing... life is what you make it, literaly. There's always some good to be lead by, so look for it and it will increase! this is interesting; 80 people were put into a social context, 78 were told to only talk about positive things, 2 only negative. 20 times on 20 the 2 negative people drifted to eachother within 5-8 minutes (they didn't know who eachother were either)... Be positive with negative people and watch them leave (negativity is contagious!!!). Misery likes company.
Envy is a killer to our personal growth, it takes the focus off of where we are and rationalizes our lack as we say how "lucky" they are, it's not fair - instead of seeing them as a means to motivate ourselves and to learn from.
Critisizing, condemning others or complaining are all attempts to relieve ourselves from the emediate responsibility for ourselves (remember your attitude got you where you are) but the other side of this coin, is it also removes our posibility of moving forward towards the good we really want, since you're looking at... negative. Besides, destructive gossip makes people unatracted to you! So maybe you think he/she deserves to be ruined, don't ruin yourself attempting to attain this "justice".
All the best, Joel  |
