Wk3: Reading

For many us, being negative or taking things negatively is as natural as covering ones month when you cough, or saying grace. Why is it so easy to view things harshly? Are we that dependant upon controversy, where it compels us to seek it out? Reality shows today are the highlight of television due to controversial issues. The News we watch, the movies that are interesting and the conversations people have are all geared by some way of violence. It is what makes us so interested. Since, when is it boring to do and behave in the right way?

We must ask ourselves, would we be entertained by television shows like the Cosby’s or if a friend gives you news about their educational success. Things may not always happen in our favor, but we must be able to make every situation positively, and remember things happen for a reason.

The other day, I loan my car to my brother, and when I can home that day, he told me he could not find my smartkey to start the car. He clamed that he put it back where I told him to find but it wasn’t there. I was upset and calculating the price of the smartkey and the cost for programming the key. I was upset because, I planned to drive the next day to work. I woke up the next morning took the train and when I came home, my wife found the key outside in a flower bed and told me, it was a reason why your key was lost. The route I normal would drive to work is being repaired and the alternate route is on the other side of town. I would have been extremely late to work that day.

So we must look at things more positively no matter how extreme it is. We can’t spend our short lives being angry.
