rofl....."I wish we could just weed out all of those who are close minded and do nothing but contaminate communities..."

...but they're thinking the same thing about you.

One night my friend Marina and I were walking home and a car drove by and the people inside threw garbage at us yelling "bitches!"

It was insane! Neither of us even knew who it was.

Some people just have a lot of hate in their lives and think it's cool to be disrespectful.

Much love,

It always makes me so sad when I hear about this kind of stuff... both for those receiving the negative energy and for those who have so much pain in their lives as to feel that need to lash out on others in order to release some of their anger and pain.

As hard as it is to receive such negative energy, try to let it roll off you and replace it with positive energy and love. Breath in the positive energy and release out the negative on the exhale. You have no need for it and you can control the energy around you.

The girl who spoke up has the right idea. :-) So just keep playing. The negative people will sort themselves out and the best you can do is keep sending positive stuff their way.

monsieur you clipped the part that said contaminate with their NEGATIVITY because they "as people" could grow and change I know I have......but their negativity is whats contaminating the world. They cannot say the same for open minded positive people. I understand what your trying to say......that by me calling them names I am being judgmental...which is exactly what they are doing. And its true! But thats the ripple of negativity! I know that I dont create this or expand this by hurting others in this way....this is my harmless way of feeling their negativity and then diminishing it! I also try to only surround myself by others who are positive which helps but is not always possible:)

aww thanks lulu! I call it that too! "letting it roll off" :) It takes me a little bit tho...it always has. I guess you could say im a sensitive one....I just cant fathom some peoples intentions on hurting others. It makes me sick if I think about it to much. But i have gotten better....i realize that by letting them upset me its only keeping that negativity going. You rock Lulu mwuuuuahhh!

Thanks Nicole. :-D I'm sensitive too. So it's hard for me, too. But yoga is helping me with that kind of stuff. I'm very emphathetic, so I internally "feel" emotions of others, be them positive or negative. That is why I don't watch the news. I end up crying the whole time... even to the hearwarming stories. ;-)

oh my god!! lulu i think you are another soul sister of mine! I am very empathetic too! As a child my emotions were chaotic! I felt crazy unstable then as I got older I learned that they werent all my emotions....that I was like an emotion magnet lol! Discovering that helped me live a better life but it is still hard as hell thats for sure. I cant watch news or ultimate fighting or animals fighting (it makes me physically sick)! I CAN watch scary or fighting movies where people randomly gruesomely kill each other but I cried when watching lion king hehe and I cant watch dances with wolves because they killed his wolf friend......A lot of times I feel when something is going to happen like an angry outburst or fight.....or I just know that someone is offended near me and can figure out what is going on without even know the situation or the people. Its creepy and makes me uncomfortable in places where there are a lot of people!

Hey....I'm sensitive and empathetic too....at heart I'm just a big ole hairy-shouldered softie (with a few barnacles along the water line).

Yeah, Nicole, I mis-quoted you a little by selectively deciding where to cut the quote, but only for the drama of the phrasing and because I was just making a little joke with you. But nice catch either way; I'm busted.

BUT....(Isn't there always a but in tha picture)....I wasn't doing it just to say you were being judgmental. That's a given to me...that everyone's judgmental...as much as it's popular to deny it these days. No one can make it through a day without making judgments....or, to use another currently out of fashion but perfectly fine word, with out discriminating.

What I was saying or hinting at really is that everyone functions from their own point of view and no one much cares about or notices it until their own ox is gored in some way....and your labeling! their conduct as "NEGATIVITY" is ultimately no different that their labeling you "peyote fuckers" ....No, wait, that didn't come out right...

Lulu offers the best suggestion....to just ignore it...Doesn't she always just have the best ideas?

lol!!

no really i get what your trying to say I agree to that everyone seeeems to functions from their own point of view. BUT hehe cant you stop and put yourself into someone else shoes? I know you can! I like to try and imagine my life under other circumstances and see what emotions come up.....its easy for me to understand two point of views (or more) from an event! Everything is experiential so you don't really know exactly what you would have felt... or done....unless you were there..... at that time..... as that person.... experiencing that moment! Whew twilight Zone haha still I believe people are evolving and changing so that they can see or should I say feel things from other perspectives! This is what I mean by an open mind. Its hard to talk about this kind of stuff tho...words are soo intangible. Its like my boyfriend always says..... we need to evolve our communication in order to survive as human beings. I think maybe this sense of sharing emotions is the beginning of that! Like when I watch a video of a beautiful hoop dancer and start to get teary eyed...Or when me and my best friend can just look at each other and laugh knowing exactly what we are "thinking" about. Thats communication at its best right there! Just a transfer of emotion or thoughts without words!
