We have them around. They are pervasively present in our society, in our circle of friends…and even in our families. There are people who could drain out your emotions and positive energy since it is their nature to draw out the positive light from you. They envy your positive disposition to the point that they would like to make you like them: bitter. They will constantly complain, see the world negatively, accuse people of being innately bad and critique the minutest detail in everything. They were not able to develop the value of appreciation and living on the positive side of life. Being with them could be considered as hell on earth.

Most of them create a facade of being happy and friendly yet they are not. They will then look for your mistakes and pull you down to the pitiful lives similar to what they are living. Their words are patronizing in front of others but could be very poisonous once you are out of sight. These things could be from their turbulent backgrounds or the uncontrolled evil inside. They were not able to nurture the person within to the point that most of them have the incapacity to love, serve and give. They turn out to be selfish and clanish. They could not connect to the bigger communities since their perspective is on the micro level only: That is focusing on their own selves and the people they consider as “theirs”.

There are older people whom you see as fixated to the material and worldly things. They equate success to clothing, cars, fame and power. They adore people who are moneyed and powerful neglecting the values and contributions of these people to humanity. Their vision of success is superficial to the point that they will do illegal and immoral things since they VALUE the aforementioned materials than the universal values. Most of them strive to acquire property and things which they feel would fill in their incapacity.

But then, according to Harvey Jackins, the person in the grip of old distress says things that are not pertinent, does things that don’t work, fails to cope with the situation, and endures terrible feelings that have nothing to do with the present. That is the main reason that these “persons” are actually unsuccessful in their fields. Most of them are actually being left behind by their contemporaries in terms of power and fame and money. Instead of defining success to what they are right now, they continue to be driven with things which won’t actually quench their thirst for craving for the material things they desire.

Thus, they are bitter. Their presence could then become toxic and energy-draining since their words and actions reflect their insecurity. They try their best to sound pertinent but they are actually wading on shallow waters.

So why linger on them? We have lots to enjoy in life. We need not be influenced with what we consider as unhealthy things in our Being and Becoming. We could stay away from these people since they are actually NOT our friends. Friends unconditionally give love, affection, respect and even resources to us and not instruments of self-destruction and defeat. It is a decision with the inner person to severe relationships which could not make the outer being a contributor of pain and negative energy to the universe. Life is better than that.

With the readings we get, we see that reflective people have lesser companions and so-called friends since they understand how to separate themselves from the toxic ones and keep the best ones whom they could nurture compatibly. We treasure these people since they help us with our missions and enhance our strengths to pursue the purposes of our lives.

We then continue to keep our quiet and appreciate the things we have. We believe that their is a greater force guiding us to reach our destinations. We define our own happiness and not be mandated by the pressures we see in different platforms. We reach out to people not to use or abuse them. We do this since we are like them: human with beings.
