We All Want Positive But We Give Negative
We all want others to regard us positively. We even expect
others to think of us positively. Even though this is unrealistic it would be
fairer if we thought of others positively, but we don’t do we?
Why We Expect to be Thought of Positively
The reason why we expect and hope that others think positively
of ourselves is because we actually think negatively of others and we find our
own negative thinking towards them way too harsh, and we certainly don’t want
that for ourselves.
Remedy
As soon as we fix up that negative thinking towards others,
things change in us, we stop feeling awkward when with others and we drop silly
expectations and we get hurt less and are less sensitive.
The Common Characteristic of the “Myself”
The characteristic of the myself is to always be thinking of
charging people, harbouring something against, having ill-will against others,
seeing people’s faults, wishing them tough times, disliking, rejecting and so
on. Crunching the negativity is a big blow for the ‘myself’ because that is
what it lives off.
This is due to the relativity and duality inherent in the ‘myself’.
As the reference point for the ‘myself’ is other people it has always to think
negatively of others in relation to the many different issues that involve us
like fairness, importance, love, etc. Thinking negatively about others in
relativity blows up the ‘myself’.
Pray
To pray for others is a beautiful thing and helps to
cultivate positive thinking towards others as we in prayer will goodness for
others. BUT we must eliminate this negative thinking otherwise it undoes all of
our prayers. Actually I would say eliminate this negative thinking before praying
for them.
End (1926).
