Negative comments.... Again!?!?
It is finally revealed to me that whatever that comes out from me is considered negative...
The revelation is that... I'm in fact not the negative one, but it's people who are negative who thinks that I'm being negative...
I agree that I tend to look at the situation from the worst possible scenario first... But I think that's just working from another angle...
People pass comments all the time... whether in jest or being critical...
But that's just what people do... passing a comment... Based on their own perspection of the world... like what make sense to them and what doesn't.
People pass comments when they see something that is not in sync with what is sensible to them or what that challenges their believes...
So isn't telling them to be nice in itself passing a comment that they are not being nice when they all they did was to tell you what they think...??

I thought of this passage from the "heart sutra" when I read your post....
Two monks were chatting after their mediation...
Monk A: What do you think I look like?
Monk B: You look like buddha.
Monk B: Then what do you think I look like?
Monk A: You look like a pile of shit.
Monk B was not angry.
Monk A: Why is it that I called you a pile of shit, you are not angry?
Monk B: Because a buddha will see things in buddha likeness. A pile of shit will see things as piles of shit.
So? A negative person will perceive whatever was said to them as negative...
On saying that, I am not saying that I am any more positive than anyone else though I try very hard to be. And I will continue trying.
