There are people weighed down by negativity who always see life as a glass half empty.
We’ve learned little. Their focus on the negative aspects of everything happening around them makes their lives full of torment and often makes the lives of their family members and everyone around them miserable. People who drain everyone’s energy because they’re always fixated on problems, crises, and catastrophes.
- There are people weighed down by negativity who always see life as a glass half empty.
- The world took very positive steps in the last two centuries to eradicate slavery and segregation, at least to make them illegal.
- If we keep seeing the world negatively, if we keep driving recklessly, if we keep promoting hatred… we’ve learned little, and we still have much to improve, grow, and change.
With all the content available to learn how to see life from a more positive perspective, it’s clear we’ve learned very little from that material and still have a long way to go.
The world took very positive steps in the last two centuries to eradicate slavery and segregation, at least to make them illegal.
However, it’s clear we’ve learned little from that process, as many of us become enslaved to vices, gambling, political ideologies, religious leaders, and more. We continue to promote the idea that women should endure abuse from their husbands, practically becoming their slaves, under the excuse of “saving the marriage.”
Christianity has been around for over two thousand years, beginning with clear guidelines of love for God and love for one’s neighbor. Yet it’s clear we’ve learned very little from the faith we profess, as Christians all too often wish harm on others, criticize anyone who doesn’t live up to our standards, and condemn those we believe are living in sin. We’re far from being recognized as disciples of Christ, as we fail to live by what John 13:35 says: *By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.*
Dear reader: we have access to more information than ever before, but it’s our duty to learn how to choose what we consume so it helps us become better people.
If we keep seeing the world negatively, if we keep driving recklessly, if we keep promoting hatred… we’ve learned little, and we still have much to improve, grow, and change.
Look for people on social media who can give you good advice, and stop following so many accounts that only share gossip and negativity. Buy self-improvement books, financial advice books, leadership books, books on positive attitudes, and more. If your pastor talks about revenge or justifies hatred, resentment, or vengeance: that’s not the place for you! That person is a fraud, and you should find someone who brings you closer to God, not farther away.
