Different Kinds Of Energy

I have some beautiful crystals I ordered from the internet. They supposedly are healing crystals, and contain positive energy. I like that idea. I have absolutely no proof, but I'll believe it, if it makes me feel better. I believe in objects, as well as people, having both positive and negative energy. You usually can tell when you meet someone that their energy is not good. You can sense their negativity and darkness. You get a bad feeling, an uncomfortable feeling. Their bad intentions are being picked up by your positive energy.
These are women who will drop everything and come to my aid in whatever way I need, and never bat an eye, or question a thing. These are women that are filled with positive energy and are happy, and want others to be happy , too, even if they have to move them along a little. They aren't envious or jealous, they are loving and caring. They nurture and guide, as they all have their own individual talents and experiences. And I reciprocate. It makes friendships a nice experience.
I believe we can spread positive energy to strangers as well, depending on the situation. If we're standing in line, we could have a conversation with the next person for a couple of minutes. We can have a conversation with the waitress. We can smile at people. That's like a lost art. People are so in fear, they don't make eye contact, let alone smile. But the more we smile, the more we spread positive energy.
The more we stay away from negativity, the calmer and happier our lives will be. There is no fun in chaos. There's no joy in arguing and disagreeing about everything. We need to find a way to keep that type of negativity away from us. Picking the people we let into our lives is one way of doing that. We can choose the positive people we feel our connection with, and leave the others alone. Our peace of mind is at stake, and it depends on how badly you want that peace to make the changes needed. Life is so short, and yet how much time do we spend arguing and explaining and becoming angry, and staying angry?
What if everyone made a conscious effort to be nice? What if it was mandatory to do at least one nice thing for someone each day? Well, the world would be a better place, now wouldn't it? There are many people who already practice the concept of being nice, and caring, and nurturing, and they deserve credit for their efforts, it isn't always easy to be nice to some people. Wherever we go, there are usually people. Whether we're at work or school or at a store or mall or walking down the street, we run into people. A smile exudes warmth, and that produces a good feeling, and the more good feelings, the more positivity in the air. We all get to breathe it in.
A smile should come automatically, but in this day and age, with all the negative forces at work, people are afraid to do what should come naturally. Aggression is apparent everywhere we go. People yelling at others in stores and on the street and in traffic. The best one is a line of cars stopped dead on the highway, not knowing what's ahead that is keeping them at a standstill, and cars are honking their horns. Now, come on, it doesn't take a genius to know there's nothing a little tweak is going to do in that situation!
Can you imagine a husband returning home from work after having been in traffic and saying to his wife, "I was stopped dead, but I beeped my horn, and one car after the other pulled over until I could get through." Why does it appear people are nasty to the toll takers because they have to pay to drive on the road, when the toll takers are just making a living like they are? Gas station attendants are getting the grief for high gas prices. They are hardly getting by on the pay they get at the station, and then have to be yelled at because someone other than them keeps raising the prices. If they had that much clout, they'd be making a lot more money, and they wouldn't be pumping gas. There's nothing wrong with pumping gas, but it's not everybody's favorite job to do.
I try to be nice to everybody as I go about my business, but it's to the point in time now that some people don't know how to respond. They got a nice customer! I said your welcome and have a nice day to the toll person, and they looked a little shocked. If I need questions answered in a store, I say thank you for your time, and most will say, that's my job. In reality, they are thinking, wow, someone appreciates me. We have to start spreading positive energy around instead of negative, or hope for a pleasant life experience is nil.
And the World God wanted us to have will have been lost on negativity and anger. When they have to pass a law that you can get a ticket for beeping your horn, there's got to be a lot of frustration and anger in the air. When there is an ordinance against road rage, something isn't right. When we had to create anger management classes, which I greatly support, isn't this telling us something about where we are headed if we don't wake up? Wake up and smile, and say thank you to the paper boy, and smile at the girl behind the counter at dunkin' donuts, and ask the gas station attendant how he's doing today? We have to replace negativity with the positivity that will rejuvenate and enliven people. It just takes baby steps, and we can all do it.
