I don’t understand negative people.. really, I don’t. I understand that there is a lot to be negative about now a days.. but c’mon! I am talking about the chronic negative people anyway.. the ones that can find the shitty lining in every cloud, every day.

Don’t they understand that it’s way more tiring to be a negative asshole than someone who tries to make things right? Or better yet.. why not be a constructive, negative asshole at least.. you know.. when you see something that isn’t right (which is just about everything) .. try to make it right at least. Nah… screw that.. that would be almost positive.. just sit there and bitch about it.

One on one, a negative asshole isn’t that threatening. You can just write them off as negative… and walk away happy.. no harm done. However, put them in a group and they can work wonders. They feed off one another, they gain momentum.. then eventually they feel justified and omnipotent.

I don’t want to create the wrong impression either. I’m not one of those eternally happy Mo’fos either. I don’t have the sunshine pump on full blast 24/7. I can bitch and complain with the best! Except the main difference with me (as with most people) is that I try and isolate my negative moments.

I also try not to dwell on it. Some things you just can’t change. Some things you just have to write off and move on. Try to make the best of it.

What I wish the negative assholes would understand is that they affect the people around them. Even the most noble of positive thinkers can become tainted by the constant hammering of a negative asshole. Sometimes it’s easier to just succumb to their drivel than it is to constantly fight it.

This is especially damaging when people must depend on the negative asshole. When you are in a position in life that requires others to rely on you.. and you can’t help but be a negative asshole you wield the power to make everyone with in an expansive radius around you miserable.

At first you won’t realize it.. because it starts small .. like a crack in a dam. Little by little it gets bigger and harder to patch. You can do a lot of damage before the dam breaks too. Water leaks all over the place, ruining things. People get tired of always patching the dam and fixing the damaged goods around it. Until one day.. well.. you can imagine the rest.

So to all you negative assholes out there.. look around you! Listen to what you are saying. Watch the facial expressions on the folks that are in ear shot of your words. Consider being constructive. Do it for them if not yourself.

If you must piss in someone’s Cheerios at least offer them a bowl of something else.
