[www.keralites.net] Negativism

 

Negativism, the deadliest pandemic The disease negativism, makes the mind restless, revengeful, robs the very capacity of understanding and the worst thing of all, develops a pathological inability to tolerate anything positive. It corrodes the capacity to use one's mind in a constructive manner, somehow selects a target for hate and attributes everything bad to the target. Refusal to understand and automatically misunderstand and misinterpret become primary motivations. Obfuscation, penchant for the negative only, first damages at the personal level in personal relations, and extends into the social relations, and depending on the social station of the person, may infect large sections of acquaintances. Negativism automatically needs targets for victimization. The target has to be weak as otherwise the retaliation may be costly. But each success wets the appetite. The immediate targets invariably are women. These people prefer women to be really weak, insecure and as a result docile. One can see the shameless targeting of women by the Talibans, destroying their schools, converting into sex slaves, publicly lashing the women right in the streets so that humiliation becomes a cultural facet. Women become property like the live stock. A woman is a bundle of emotions. As a sweet child any girl is simply divinely, like a wonderful flower. Unfortunately in the brutalized culture, an offshoot of primary negativism, even her enchanting magnetism gets ignored. In fact aversion towards the positive first extends towards children. We hear of the ISIS, crucifying babies. When I write about the need to avoid the negative words, it is meant to me also, as I do not want to corrupt my mind. When I find anything positive I make it a point to show my appreciation. We all have to guard against the latent Talibanism, in the shape of negativism in us. Unfortunately this Talibanism is getting covered up as Puritanism. We are finding the emergence of the moral and culture police in our country also. The problem with the Taliban is trying or actually viewing noble missions in a negative light. The good intentioned get stunned and puzzled. One more terrible problem is the change our media is bringing to things identified as sublime and positive. A case in point is the use of the word beef to mean the flesh of a cow after killing it. The Cow called Kamadhenu is viewed very positively in Hinduism. By coining phrases like the Beef Politics, absolute insensitivity to something held as sacred is displayed by the media. It is horribly negative to the core.
