Night of the Living Negative
Growing up, there has always been a daunting reaction to run in the sight or thought of ZOMBIES. I can’t help but feel that same overwhelming fear that they still exists today. Except not in the cliché version of Thriller’s back up dancers. I realized that the ZOMBIES I knew of when I was young have taken form of NEGATIVE PEOPLE.
Let me explain…
Zombies are described as soul-less bodies that have one purpose only… to feed on LIFE
When I come across negative people, the more enthusiasm, energy, and spirit I exuberate, the thirstier and more aggressively engaged they became in extinguishing my light. They show no mercy, they have no plan, they have no consciousness, and they destroy. Trust me, they were already negative before you made contact with them.
Zombies obviously aren’t born a zombie. They become zombies through infection of a virus
Just like negative people aren’t born negative. They become negative through infection of a mental virus called fear or doubt that they picked up somewhere throughout their lives.
Zombies cannot feed on other zombies because viruses can only survive on living cells
Just like negative people can only survive by feeding on living dreams. Zombies cannot feed on cells that are already dead, just like negative people can’t feed on dreams that are already dead.
Zombies transform slowly as the virus moves throughout the body and eventually takes control of the body
Just like negative people plant seeds of fear and doubt that slowly moves through a person’s mind and eventually takes control of their mind, philosophy, attitude, and decisions. If you weren’t sure if you were infected, you’ll take action but in the back of your head, you know something foreign is there but you fear telling the people around you. Just like when you get that seed of doubt, you often take “dead action” and wonder why you feel like you do things when your mind isn’t 100% there. Without proper treatment, the doubt will eventually take you out of action.
Zombies are often parasitic and bloodsucking creatures
Just like negative people always has something to say but nothing to give. They are often energy draining creatures that leave you deteriorating physically and mentally.
Zombies can sometimes be difficult to identify due to its resemblance to other human beings
Just like negative people can be difficult to identify sometimes because they take roles of the people you care about most. Like your mom, dad, brother, sister, uncle, cousin, friend, and even spouse.
To sum things up, the urban dictionary defines a Zombie as:
“A person who has lost his or her sense of self-awareness and identity, and cares only for the destruction of any human around, no matter what the circumstances, or cost to his or her self. They make up for this loss of intelligence in sheer numbers, as the state of zombieism is almost always contagious, and spreads like wildfire.”
I’m not saying that we should isolate negative people and dispose of them in gas chambers… But the reality is that negativity has single handedly annihilated billions of dollars in the economy through deserted dreams and injured ideas. Negativity is an epidemic with no vaccine known. It is a serious illness and can be fatal to your dreams if untreated.
The only thing more tragic than death is to face death without ever experiencing life.
Please help contain the outbreak of negativity by spreading awareness and share this article to as many people as you can!
Remember, anhesty isn’t something you do. It’s a way of living.
