Negative People

It is not often, I get upset, but lately, some of the people I have met. I wonder to myself, how do they get by, talking about people, griping, telling lies. I find them offensive, I distant myself, and sometimes wonder, why, don't they ask for help. Negative people, stay away from me, I will not entertain you, leave.

People like that drag you down. We should not do that to other people, we should try to be kind, treat others like we want to be treated. and you should like you say distant yourself from them. this was a beautiful piece of poetry well writtne.

That's a great very potent poem! Negative people fill this earth with their whining and irrationality. But there's no positive if there's no negative! Thought provoking write...Thank you for sharing... TYOne, Farah

LOVE's not a negative state.It's an ACTIVE FORCE without limits when it is true. If a person is not concious of their repeated negative patterns that manipulate or stab than they will have the experience of saying one thing and doing another. We cannot help someone who doesn't want to help themselves. Sooner or later we back off just to protect the love we have for ourselves and for the other person. We release them with LOVE so that they can find their own way. Love Patricia

I'm with you sister. I try, but if they don't get it, I can't handle it. I have enough problems in my own life to have to deal with selfish, judgmental and negative people. So with you on this one. Love, Shar

Yes....it is hard to be around negative people....how easily they can bring us down with their ill mood. I try to surround myself with those who see the glass half-full!! I hope you have plenty of sunshine surrounding you!! Love, Carrie
