While on the way to have dinner, my friends and I were talking about blogging. We were all commenting on one of my friend's blog entries that starts to get negative progressively. Then someone commented that it is possibly easier to remember and comment on negative things than the positive ones that happens to you.
Oh well... it's true there's a tendency to remember all of the old bad times that we had in our earlier lives.
It's just like my mum who usually starts to reminisce about the past of herself and my dad. Well... doing that once in a while is pretty cool in my opinion as you also remember some of the good parts of the memories, but taking the reminiscing into negative self-pity and blames, is so the-other-side of the story.
Why do we always dwell in unhappy things that happens and overlook the good things that we have experienced?
So many people have succumbed to the effects of stress as a result of themselves embracing these negative thoughts and disregard the happiness that might already be too oblivious for them to take notice of...
"I will not see sad faces again! I must spread joy to everyone I meet." This is what I believed and I would often try to cheer anyone around me up so that they don't dwell too much into their negativity and be reminded that there're more stuffs they can do instead of wallowing at their state. Hence I'd rather be the laughing point of everyone than to witness my friends being dejected by the bad things.
I know it might be impossible to eliminate all of the negativity, but I'd at least liked to reduce the effects as much as possible.
We are so obsessed with the doors that closed in front of us that we do not see other doors of opportunities that might have opened for us out of our line of sight.
