Have we become too negative?

Hasn't negativity become a very very routine part of our lives? Gossiping, bitching, swearing is as common as saying hello to the next person. And I wonder why. Here's a wonderful passage I came across the other day :

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life...

"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

"One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego.

"The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.

"This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
"Which wolf will win?"

The old chief simply replied,
"The one you feed."


Come to think of it ...aren't we all feeding the first wolf? Read the newspapers , see the news ...its full of bad news, hatred, mockery, scandals and how "the country is going to the dogs". Just yesterday, I was discussing with a friend about how popular Roadies is with all the swearing and politics... About how important it is for people to prove themselves in front of a man who shot to fame by abusing the youth of entire India! How does saying "fuck you" and "Screw you" makes you look cool? And guys! Do you really think saying words like MC and BC makes you more of a man??? Really? Think again Gentlemen !! Where does all the anger really take us? Does one really become popular by being unrelentingly arrogant?

Its time we really calm ourselves down. Its high time to start looking good things in each one of us and before pointing out to other person and say "What a #$^#@! he/she is" look into your own soul and identify what a douchebag you yourself are and do something about it to improve your own self.

Nobody is perfect and hence nobody has the right to judge anyone else. Lets just judge our own selves and live our own lives ...not a bad idea for a peaceful life ...right???
