Negative People, Positive Results

Yesterday I heard one of the funniest jokes ever, I could not hold it in but I just had to because I just had nobody to share it with. I then started to think about all of the things that we have and do not appreciate. Some of them are a need to us, but we will never know their true significance because they are always around.

They say ‘a friend is a nice thing to have, but being one is the best thing that you could ever be’. We all understand the importance of friends because we do not always have them. The very same applies for our intimate partners; we appreciate them because we remember all of the times that we have been looking or waiting for them. These people help to bring out the best in us, but we overlook that we also need those that bring out the worst in us, without the worst there is no best but we overlook that opposites give life to opposites.

There are priceless moments in life; like getting to put a smile on your face when you bump into your youth’s sporting coach that thought you would never make it. Partly he was right though because you did not make in sports, but you made in something else and this fool thought you were hopeless as an athlete, and then as an overall person. You get to remember certain pieces of your past, and then you realize that you have always been a winner even though you totally sucked in sports, and lastly you get to realize that it was not only because you did not like your coach but sports was never your passion in the first place.

Every once in a while you do need to bump into that guy/girl that you had a very strong crush on for all of your high school years, but it never worked out simply because she never said ‘yes’ when you asked her out or he never asked you. You need to remember these people because if they are now not doing that good in life they make you feel like you have made some progress, and if they are doing much better than you they remind you of your current position and help to inspire you to become a better person than you once was. Another thing is, the better they are as compared to your current partner the more effective they are.

Some people are just complete snakes (hypocrites). They listen to your life’s problems and pretend to be your true friends that sympathize, but as soon as they leave your sight they spread your business as much as they can with no slightest emotion called ‘sympathy’. You do need these snakes to betray you because that will teach you to keep your business to your self and find your own solutions to your own problems. But, never confuse liking to talk to other people about your business and reaching out to the right people that can help you when you are in times of need.

Some people just hate you completely and openly. They take pride in hating you. As strange as this may sound but these people make you stronger more than your friends ever could. If the world was just full of friends, you would know that when you fall down we would all be by your side to help you get back up, but since such people exist you do know that they would just be too happy and push you even more down if they could. It is because of them that you never fall even when you really have to, but instead you just take it and smile.

These are some of the people that we need but have never appreciated them for the roles that they play in our lives, but they still will always be around (whether appreciated or not). Negativity brings out the positivity in us.
