| Does negative behavior effect how you feels? Have you ever been around a friend, co-worker of family who was quite negative and it effected how you felt? Made you uneasy? Upset you? I am told if one does not care about a person then one would ignore such behavior and it would make no difference. I say negative people and energy sucks the happiness and joy right out of a person if exposed to it to much. No matter if that person is close or not close. I am told since it bothers me then I must care more than I admit or wish to change the person. This is not so. But it is not fun being around. |

| [slm] If the neg. is directed to me like ...oh you can't do that or yeah you're not good enough then it just makes me want to prove them wrong , But if it'ss just general negativity then I try to get away from it, because if a person if just neg. then It'll make me be neg. towards them. Sallams |

| Yes it effects a little but to reduce that not to suck my happiness I would reduce the contact with him/her or get rid of it if possible I should be wise in both ways either by putting myself in the wiser side to be patient so that I wont feel the ache of this character because I know I am volunteer to this kind of sickness incase there is no way to escape such as a member of a family in the same place Or ignore if a co-worker, and get rid of a friend like that ,but I will not blame a person being a reason to my unhappiness in general .It can be only the moment I am with that person I might not be happy .and to be smart i should not focus at the side that makes me unhappy |

| [slm]/As salam alaikum, I heard an interesting metaphor about the heart that may be of interest to this subject. It goes: The heart is like an ocean, with many lakes. (The lakes could be seen as the valves and so forth,) If you pollute one of these lakes, than you intern pollute the ocean as well. So guard the things you see, hear, think, taste, touch or whatever because all these things can affect your heart. Another one: Watch your thoughts, for they become words; Watch your words, for they become actions; Watch your actions, for they become your character; And, watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. Having looked at these two sayings, I would say that negativity can definetly have a HUGE impact on others. A muslim should always try to be positive and happy, I think this is important because it helps us remember that we don't have power over our lives, everything comes from Allah. We should all learn to say AL Humdulileh! And ask for patience in each test and be thankful for our ease. :-) [wlm]/ wa alaikum salam |
