We all are selfish and everything that we do in life has selfish motives. Every situation has a positive or a negative outlook.....we could either think positive or negative. Then why is it that most of us choose to be negative about things...even after having been told by our anceastors that if you think positive, good will happen. Being negative is a defense mechanism we adopt to prevent ourselves from being hurt. Its a defense strategy which we think will help us to face the situation if bad happens. Its probably hurts less when the negative happens when ur prepared for it. Its easier to think negative and tell yourself you expected that to happen than be positive about something and feel disappointed if it doesnt. Its always been easy to be negative. We prepare ourselves, we protect and shield ourselves from being hurt by being negative. But then dont they say......like the book "The Secret" you get what attract what you think????
Its finally a personal choice, but we have to decide whether we want to be postive and live each moment as it comes without shielding ourselves or live like a coward shielding ourselves from being hurt.
