Do Not Be Negative
Danieli and Rebeka thought that they had a good marriage. But Danieli had a severe flaw which often bothered Rebeka; and which if not watched, was threatening to harm their relationship. When he was offended by anyone, everything else would become ‘bad’. Several times, Rebeka would lovingly try to point out the positive side of issues, but Danieli would just shun her off. The problem was that Danieli’s behaviour was significantly impacting, not only Rebeka, but their two young children. Whenever he got stuck in a bad mood, the joy in their home would disappear; and the atmosphere would become cold and gloomy. Danieli needed to be careful not to allow his negativity to seep through to his loved ones. He needed to know that his negativity had the power to infect the atmosphere around him; thus making home unbearable for his wife and children.
Many negative people make the mistake of looking only at the harms inflicted by offenders, while disregarding the positives arising from the offence. This tendency makes them sink deeper and deeper into bitterness, which ends up affecting the way they behave.
