The problem is, nothing is inherently positive or negative. Without our perception neither would exist at all. Its our view of the world that makes it what it is. You have the power and you're giving it away by allowing your external reality to influence internal disorder. Take control of your thoughts and emotions, or fall ill just as the sickness intends. Hurt bleeds like the flames of a wildfire, spreading with the breath of the wind keeping them alive. Don't get caught in the embers of other peoples battles, or fall to ash just the same. You're feeding the blaze with energy, make the change and step away. Taking yourself out of the equation is the only way to starve the flame.
