What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?
I think negativity is a fact of life for many people. But there is an antidote, and that is forgiveness. We must forgive people, including ourselves.
Negative feelings are corrosive, and they hurt the person who is feeling them most. It has been said that to harbour a grudge is like drinking poison yourself and expecting the other person to get ill.
So it’s good to cultivate a spirit of forgiveness. Personally, I can’t do it alone, I have the help of my faith in Jesus.
Below is a photo of our local cemetery. I think it’s an abiding tragedy of mankind that people die harbouring a lot of negativity. It’s just a lot of bad karma. We should endeavour to make peace with the world and ourselves. Before it is too late.
