MONDAY BLUES (19)

BEWARE OF TOXIC PEOPLE.

Good afternoon friends,

Do you have pessimistic idiots around you who question your every action? If the answer is yes, then congratulations, even I am tolerating them. So far I have managed to control my temper. These are some lines dedicated to them who always think negative. I wonder if they question their parents.

“Did you really give birth to me?

How did you achieve this big feat?

I am a loser, as you can see.

I can’t even sit properly on the toilet seat.

The whole world is coming to an end.

No one will survive this catastrophe.

Everyone is after your money. No one is your true friend.

The pandemic diseases and war will alter the geography.

Why did you give birth to me at such an inauspicious hour?

Couldn’t you hold on for some time?

I feel devoid of any power.

I am not worth even a dime.”

This is the attitude of a person who’s suffering from a bad case of negativity. I know one such person who always keeps saying, “You can’t do this, You can’t do that. Be practical.”

My response is ” What do you want me to do? Shift my residence to a science laboratory to be practical. Why just practical? Why can’t I be theoretical? ” This is enough to irritate the other one. I made a blunder of announcing my ambition to this person who obviously completed his degree from WhatsApp University. I told him I wanted to write a book. His immediate response was ” Nobody reads books these days. Everything is available on Amazon. Why are you wasting your time and energy? The book is going to be a disaster.”

My response, ” Wow, You never told me you did a professional course in astrology. If you are such an expert, how could you not predict the onset of Covid-19? Did your inner eye went to sleep with your brain? ” There was a complete silence. The person stopped passing negative comments. Some people do it mostly out of their jealousy.

Don’t ever listen to their crap. Then, there are wonderful geniuses who compare their lives with others. They make their children’s lives miserable. ” Look at Sharma’s daughter, she scored 95% . Why have you scored only 70% ? We are only concerned about your studies so that you should not suffer in future like us? ” The children may retaliate, ” Look at Amitabh Bachchan. He has amassed wealth for his future generation while you are busy forwarding useless advice on the social media.”

This is a disgusting attitude. We should stop comparing our children with others. Everyone is an individual having his / her own talent. Likewise, your intelligence is judged on the basis of your chosen field of education. Those who have taken, commerce, science or maths are highly intelligent while students of arts are hardly recognized. What kind of idiocy is this?

In fact, a career chosen mainly on the basis of money earning capacity. Is money everything? When I took up blogging, the first question I faced was, “How much do you earn, why don’t you go for a job? Money is important for your child’s education and marriage.” My critics ( well wishers) conveniently forgot that I never asked for their financial assistance nor the unwanted piece of bullshit called advice.

Then, there is a race for buying assets. My neighbour bought a car. So I should buy a more expensive car to humiliate him. Wow! Witnessed these kinds of people as well. These are the toxic people who poison the atmosphere with their jerk like attitude. They should come with a warning.

“Beware of me, I am more dangerous than a stinking fart.

Negativity, and criticism is my special art.

Bow to me for I am a king ( of fools).

My comments are nastier than a scorpion sting.”

I have just learned that the key to your happiness lies in ignoring unwanted negative comments. An earnest appeal to the mischief mongers:

If you can’t encourage anyone, don’t do it but never discourage anyone from pursuing his / her dreams. All of us are the blessed children of God. Stop spewing venom and avoid jealousy, greed, anger, ego, pride, pessimism, hatching conspiracy to cause someone’s downfall. As for me, I will simply turn my back on them with a smile.

Thank you so much for taking your precious time to visit my website. Hope you enjoyed reading my blogs. 😊😊
