I have this belief that negativity is passed on to other people. I also believe that positive energy is also passed on to other people. When an unfortunate event occurs in your life, we as people tend to have a negative energy that consumes us. We may not even realize that this energy is inside us but onlookers can spot it. Its in your body language. Its in our tone of voice. Its in our attitude.
If we realize there is this energy in us we have a choice. We can pass it on or we can try to reduce it. I find that the weaker beings in us want to pass it on. "Eye for an Eye. I want to get back at that person. I want revenge". I'm sure we're all guilty of passing the hate on. Our emotions get the best of our rational thinking and we seek revenge. And if we're unable to get revenge, maybe we pass that negative energy to those around us. Those deserving or undeserving of it.
I don't blame the weaker being in us for passing it on. It consoles us. A great example of this exchange occurs primary students. You'll observe a child who is picked on and in turn the child who was the receiver of insults now wants to deal them out. They'll insult right back and if they're unable to they will carry it with them or deal it out to someone around them.
Reducing the negative energy in us is difficult to say the least. Human instinct instructs us to take the path of least resistance and reducing that energy is not easy. Sometimes we can channel the energy into something positive or productive. Hobbies are a great channel and expressing the energy physically is also a great outlet.
I theorize that the exchanged emotional energy is within us and not destroyed but rather it manifests itself in other forms. I relate this to a similar theory used in Chemistry. A chemist believes that matter is cannot be completely destroyed. Instead it is reduced/converted to a different element or converted to energy. So if you burn a piece of paper, the paper still exists but exists as ash and as heat that was released during the burning. The same applies for our emotional energy. It is released, stored or the emotional energy is changed.
I hope when sh*t happens i'll be able to channel it into something positive. This probably won't happen but at the very least i will try to acknowledge the negative energy that comes inside me.
