It's So Much Easier

The world is in motion around each of us and in it's rotation are all of us. People. Precious people, people who are born to enter into the world's gates of an unknown birth that begins with care, love, nurturing, growth, teaching, instruction, protection, direction and lots of correction.  How we are raised and guided in life's journey takes on many avenues. As we grow into men and women by divine order and come into the age of accountability, our destiny's begin to take shape and thoughts are shaped by family, surroundings, friends and society as a whole.  What we absorb and take on in life with it's plethora of choices also takes on two very poignant and distinctive elements one being positive or the other, negative. 
Sometimes around us as we run into or work with people of all walks of life, backgrounds and experiences we will encounter someone with our direct circle that doesn't always have the healthiest of interaction or attitude toward those around him or her.  Their conversation can be pleasant at times and at other times quite demeaning.  The pessimistic attitude is less to be desired and quite puzzling for a person of the younger generation to observe hear and process from a person of an older generation.  Such is the case with person's that have been in my circles of the professional work place, however I choose to listen, observe and learn from the harsh responses that a person of an older generation might not realize they are exemplifying.
I too have to be careful not to take on the same negative or seemingly unpalatable character that can easily wrap itself around me as it would any person whether from an older generation or younger generation.  It's so much easier to take a position of kindness than that of harshness, because once a person's words leaves their audible projection out to another, those words cannot be retrieved.  And although words can be expressed with freedom, more importantly it is our awareness in using our communication toward our fellow person that will have a lasting affect positively or negatively that determines the extent of wellness, wisdom, lack their of or ill intent.  Ever noticed in a small group there's always a person within the context of conversation to another who tends to always have a negative word against someone else without the person whom the negative words are being spoken about? How do we unlearn this practice? How has this become an almost cancer among us as people? What profit (if not in the proper and helpful manner) does it allot to us? What can we do to be more understanding? What do we learn from incidents such as these? What do you find easier?

Learning to practice not being negative with our words against another is hard if it has not been taught or observed.  I've observed persons who continue to allow a negative practice in conversation and communication about others begin to irritate them and fester into their character. The erosion of such tends to make those types behavior in one, affect the physical health and mental vitality of their being.  Persons that take on this nature are often sickly, ill and less productive.  As I've heard so many times over the years, "kindness begets kindness" and it truly has a positive affect on the health and well-being of those who practice and exemplify that quality. It's so much easier on us within our life's journey to understand and put into practice those things that lead to better health mentally and physically, than to knowingly hold to a stubborn attitude and uncaring approach to those we feel we are superior to-- forgetting that we too are just as vulnerable, prone to error as the next. Remember, the rotation of the world from birth until death filters many people who all enter this world the exact same way (I've never seen birth happen any other way than by the womb) and at death we answer to one call...when the Lord calls us and our journey by his choosing is unavoidable.
