The Brighter Side Of Everything

I have heard of our world being described as everything from a zoo to a garden, personally I think it's more like a sea!! I say this because I feel like I am surrounded by crabs!!! Negativity is everywhere!! I myself enjoy playing a few tunes on my violin of self pity but for the most part I'd rather look at the brighter side of things that is just as easy to find if one looks as hard for it as they look for something to be unsatisfied or unhappy about!! Anyway for every hardship in my own life whether of my own making or not I have found one thing to be true that my dwelling on it doesn't change what happened! It doesn't change how much it hurts! Choosing to look at the brighter side does help one to heal and can even stop one from dwelling on something so much that they react in a way that can devastate their circumstances even more. I love the bright side. It 's the warm sunshine in this world of reality that can warm the coldest and scariest of situations. I will be forever convinced that I would be locked up either in jail or a mental facility if I chose to look at everything as a personal vendetta from a person or God. I will end this tirade with this simple point by saying this...While you fester over what someone has done to you and let it keep you up and preoccupy your time the one who wronged you is at home somewhere sleeping peacefully and not giving you a second thought! I wish I would have realized this in high school! :-)
