You love a challenge?
Competing for greed?
Hurting people?
Teaching your seeds?

Those are negative ripples.
No matter how subtle.
Emotional stones thrown.
Headed for trouble.

Think of emotions.
Positivity is an investment.
It costs you nothing.
Negativity is expensive.

Say you are worried?
Only one reason.
You can not control others.
What are you thinking?

Those are your thoughts.
You speak those words.
Blame it on everyone else?
Can't you see how absurd?

Thank you Mr. Jackson.
Message never clearer.
You can change the world.
Starts with the person in the mirror.

The negativity you stir up with those animals outside all day and night to effect me is causing havoc in your own lives. I am just a little annoyed for the moment. You created a life style around it. You bask in your own negativity and get mad when it does not effect me so you do it over and over and over. You are sick.
