It’s something you make, not find.

Don’t look for things in life, okay? Nothing is put in this world to serve you. If for any reason you can’t appreciate things as they are, then just leave them as they are. Don’t interpret something as negative just because it’s not doing what you want. It’s embarrassing to see grown adults acting so childish as to think anything else should take care of them. No, part of maturing is understanding that’s your job now.

You might have missed the bigger point I’m trying to make here. Nothing is inherently negative. It’s you who sees it that way. Same goes for positive. You can guess which one takes better care of you.

One more thing. If looking for something in the world makes you negative, then how do you be positive? Simple. Look for something in yourself instead. Again. It’s up to you. Not your family, your friends, or even your lovers. Not your circumstances, job or wealth. You, and you alone decide what your experience teaches. Be thankful your happiness is solely your responsibility because this means you can always do something for it.

True most things aren't negative or positive, but things like rape or abuse can't be seen as neutral.

@SW-User Because going through something like that can teach you how to be a stronger person. That’s a positive. Unless of course it doesn’t because you focus on seeing it as negative instead.
SW-User
@Reject ok but the actions themselves were bad. That may have made you stronger but the actions were abusive and bad, so yeah one thing is the result of something and other the actions themselves
Reject · 26-30, M
@SW-User No action is bad, only the consequences of it can be. If you see an action as bad, then the consequence is that you don’t get to be stronger. You get to stay negative and stuck feeling the same way until you forgive and move on. That’s when you grow as a person and become stronger because now this experience isn’t defining you anymore. You are defining it. Only strong people know how to do that.
You sure fall in the higher level of mental age. Be well.
No sir! It takes a neg and pos charges for many things of this world. We live with negative and positive things everyday of our lives…

A person’s happiness is not reliant on others for sure. Correct.
@Reject DON’t be a complete idiot…you assume way too much. Be gone!

@NoGamesTolerated Some people starve happy. I know because I was one of them.

Yes no better 3 words together I can think of than Let it be..
Reject · 26-30, M
@SW-User Yes, it’s rare to find someone who can truly ‘let it be’ without making it something it’s not.
Very well said. Also hi Reject! Long time no speak. Hope you are well.

Too simplistic. I usually avoid the word "always and never".

@Wiseacre Life is a simple thing. It’s humans who complicate it.

U are obviously on a different 🌎 @Reject
I can’t relate to much of this. But I wish I could. 😞

Mmhmm luxury is a state of mind

People... I don't know if I can say "all", but mostly all, are looking for something and not finding it or they'd quit.
Every last person who is trying to be what they are not... is looking for something.
SW-User
@Reject I understand, but I think people are looking for things that maybe aren't what they should be looking for. This world is full of what I consider to be very confused people.
Reject · 26-30, M
@SW-User That’s very true. I agree. You might not be particularly religious, I know I’m not, but there’s a religious quote that means a lot to me. You might appreciate it too.

“God answers all prayers, it’s just rarely the answer we’re looking for.”
SW-User
@Reject Yep. People are too busy wanting what they don't have or "aren't" to appreciate what they do have and "are"
