Negativity

Negative company corrupts the spirit. Infecting the soul, reluctance purges lighthearted qualities deemed desirable in good company. This destroying force, this disease, seeks to permeate the very fiber of your being, forcing each thought downward. Depressing words and scornful ideas crash a thundering cloud in the mind of their listener. The infection of complaint digs veraciously into vulnerable pores and seeps from external vibes into unprotected skin. Sitting with stagnant pus in the innermost layers of living flesh, sharp edged negativity roots deeply in the atoms of your character. Altering the opinions of its captive victim, the symptoms outwardly show. Turning peace to anxiety and love to selfish pursuit, the ferocious ailment swells. Without remission, its surging and militant bacteria siege and conquer their primary goal; your heart. The throbs of this powerful organ are bound with ropes of fierce thought and cords of slander, and ultimately grounded with iron nails of pessimism. Unable to reverberate truth, power of this machine weakens. Resounding with the conformed ideals of cynicism the heart propels floods of criticism outward with each blood pump. Negativity triumphantly conquers the internal flesh chambers. Now ruled by disheartened ideals once foreign to you, any sign of former optimism buries beneath red heaping sores of apathy. Spotted and subdued you sit indifferent to life’s beauty. So invasive a disease, it results in the demise of joy and the death of vivacious laughter. Murder of happiness in every sense and leaving you in want. The body lies stricken with hatred. Excessive internal bleeding makes you, the victim, suffer a miserable existence. Inevitably your dreadful condition causes pain for those in close proximity. Slanderous speech steals away a complimentary attitude. Pessimism robs surrounding souls of blissful experience, condemning all you encounter to a morbid frown. This disease destroys the happiness of that in which it dwells, going on to spread its venomous octopus arms in the direction of any joyful source.
