 Today's video is going to be a different kind of video because it's not going to be Linux related or tech related in any way But I really think today's topic is maybe the most important topic I've ever discussed on camera that topic is negative states of being what is a negative state of being well It's having negative emotions and letting those negative emotions Dominate your actions and everything you do it really dominates your very being you are defined by this State of negativity this negative state of being and when I say you are defined by your negative state of being who exactly am I talking about I am talking about all of us. It is a human condition. We all have to fight this including myself I'm not speaking at you I'm really speaking at you and me because this is something I've had to deal with in life, too But I really think it's one of the things that when I'm able to control it It is allowed me to be successful in life successful in school and work and you know in just whatever it You know, what however it is I want to grow I would not be able to do that as successfully as possible if I was negative all the time It's just not possible and that's what's holding so many of you guys back Hence the topic of today's video and we see this in life. Everybody knows that everybody else is negative We never see it in ourselves. We always see it in other people But you can see this person he hates everyone else, right? He dislikes everyone and If you're honest with yourself, you're probably like that, too You probably have a lot of people that you just can't stand But what you need to realize is the problem is not those other people the problem lies in you if you are in a state of Negativity the problem is not that other person that other person is not making you negative You are making you negative what you have to learn you have to condition yourself Instead of disliking other people you need to condition yourself to start disliking the thought of Disliking other people if that makes sense and when I say negativity is kind of a human condition that we all have Why is that why why are we all negative? Well, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that we all Have frustrations in life We are all frustrated about certain things and really frustration and negativity frustration and negative emotions They're kind of the same thing they go hand in hand because we're all frustrated about certain things So the most obvious is that everyone everyone watching this video and the person making this video are Frustrated about not having achieved our potential, right? We didn't achieve what we wanted to so far in life and that pisses us off that Frustrates us and that makes us negative that makes us angry and the truth is You probably could achieve more in life because I I think people in a lot of ways are kind of like ants in the animal kingdom Ants bees, you know these social insects each one of us as people we're built with all the equipment necessary To be a master or a slave, right if you're talking about Bees, you know, you could be a worker be a drone or a queen We're all built with that ability if you're talking about ants Or if we're going with the the human analogies every human We have the possibility of being everything from a beggar all the way to a king and Most of us fall somewhere in the middle But we never fall on that spectrum as high as we want because everyone Imagines that they haven't achieved what they deserve to achieve what makes this worse is as you get older We all know we're on the clock, right? You only have so much time and as you get older and you realize you haven't achieved what you want to achieve You realize there's not much time left and it's gonna be that much harder to get to where you want to get and that Leads to even more frustration and it really really leads to bitterness and resentment and the in many cases a Constant negative state of being when you see people that are in a constant state of negativity They're typically older people and I think a lot of that is you know Their life just did not go in any sort of way that they planned and I really think it's another basic human condition that people Naturally have to blame other people for their shortcomings for their failures in life It's one of those things that you know if you can't see that it's you that makes all the difficulties in your life You know then obviously it has to be someone else and that's why you start blaming other people Right you blame other people for all the difficulties in your life and that's when you become resentful bitter angry Negative and ridding yourself of this negativity is pretty easy. It's pretty easy to spot when you're being negative There's one sign that you have to look for are you angry? Anytime you are angry about anything in life. Guess what? You are in a negative state of being and there's never a reason for you to be angry There's I know some people are gonna say I'm angry at this person because he did that and did this and well That's just you trying to justify Your negativity again, don't justify your negativity But there's never a reason to be angry at another person the only time that you know You should be angry, you know when physical violence is involved if somebody puts their hands on you and attacks you But even that that's not angry like your response in that case. It's not a response of anger. That's usually just Instinctual right if somebody attacks you instinctually you have to respond. I'm talking about Negativity the negativity is different. You choose that response That's a response that you learn you learn from other people in life because negativity is It's infectious. It's like a plague it spreads from person to person You learned it from other people your friends your family and now you are acting that out in your own life And when I say people try to justify their negativity, they really do even people that admit they are negative often Justify their negativity even when they admit it think about it. How often, you know, have you heard something like? You're negative. Well, I may be negative, but at least I admit I'm negative right That's justifying the fact that you are negative. It's like oh, I'm negative, but it's okay I'm negative because I know I'm being negative right and that's a Justification one of the things that leads to negativity and negative emotions negative states of being is when we consider You never want to internally consider other people All right You don't want to have this internal consideration where you're worried about what other people think of what it is You're doing right what what your actions are the people you're with You know what you're doing in life. That is not something that is positive in any way Never internally consider that just Eliminate that from your life. Do you think that anybody that has ever made any great achievement made a real advancement in mankind? Now think about all the great figures in human history. How many of them? Do you think set around and thought before these crazy actions that they did that advanced mankind in some way? Hey What will other people think about this they didn't think that they knew what they needed to get done they had things that they wanted to achieve and they went out and did it and To hell with what people thought about it really internal consideration It's like a petri dish for negative emotions to to build up right internal considering is really kind of it's based on the idea That others treat us badly and we treat everybody else fairly That's that's one of the signs that that's like built-in hardwired with with us is as human beings is That we are always right. Everybody else is wrong. We are always fair. Everyone else is unfair You treat everyone with respect and dignity and no one treats you with respect and dignity And the problem is not that you know, you want to be treated properly from other people That's a normal thing. Yeah, I want to be treated with respect from other people But the problem is that a lot of people want to be treated properly But they wanted to be treated in some weird way where they have this elevated idea about their standing in life They want to be treated with much more respect Then they've actually deserved to be that's the problem is we have this over-inflated Evaluation of ourselves, right? We think we are better than we actually are we think we're better than that other person For one thing that's why he needs to you know, really just kiss our ass When we're around them is because I'm so much better than that other person and that is a negative state of being obviously You need to be able to properly Self-evaluate yourself. You need to be able to evaluate yourself as a third-party observer Because if you're evaluating yourself from the first person, you are always the most important person Around and you are always gonna have this crazy inflated sense of value And you're always gonna think that you deserve more from other people you deserve more respect You deserve more pay at your job, etc. The problem is most people don't realize it's kind of like the stock market You know the prices of stocks is everything is fairly priced Why is it fairly priced is because people are buying stocks people are selling stocks How much is the stock worth? It's worth exactly what somebody is willing to buy it at the time And it's a perfectly fair price if you don't think that you are being valued correctly in life Guess what? You're wrong because you are priced exactly the way the market Which is other people in society have priced you at one of the clear signs of being a negative person is when you can't Trust anyone else and I see this all the time some people in life can't trust anyone They don't trust anybody with anything. Why is this? It's because deep down They know what kind of a horrible person they are in many cases a lot of times. It's I Can't trust that person because I know he's a liar. Why is he a liar because I lie I can't trust that person because I think he's dishonest. Why is he dishonest because I know I'm dishonest I know I'm scandalous. I know I'm malicious or whatever it happens to be and because I know I'm this Way everyone else must be this way that way I can't trust anyone and it really just ends up paralyzing you and life is because you can't have any proper Relationships in life if you can't trust other people you can't have friends. You can't have Romantic relationships because how can you trust these people what ends up happening is these negative emotions end up killing you They end up basically destroying you physically mentally Emotionally and eventually they lead to a spiritual death as well So eventually you have to get to the point where you're no longer Filled with these negative emotions. You're no longer expressing these negative emotions Well, I won't say you shouldn't express negative emotions because when I say that people are gonna think that you have these negative Emotions inside and you're or pressing them. You're just letting them build up inside which is actually not healthy That's not healthy at all. What I'm saying is you shouldn't have those negative emotions inside you to begin with you Need to fix that problem. You have to get away from thinking that everyone is your enemy, right? Everybody in life is your enemy which is I guess kind of a human condition as well, right? We're all enemies to each other in life. We're all competing. We're all competing for food for spouses for Jobs or we're competing for everything in life But oddly enough as soon as someone dies, they're regarded a much higher respect You know because they're no longer competing with us So as soon as someone dies, it could have been somebody that you couldn't stand in real life when somebody asked you about this Dead person. Well, you can talk good about them now because they no longer matter, right? They're out of the game. You know, it's interesting if you notice how many people in life love to quote people that are dead Yeah, you know people like that that love to quote the dead It's because we as people we idolize dead people, right? We don't idolize anybody in real life We like to idolize people that are dead and again, we typically They were shine a better light on them after they pass then when they were alive and the further we get from their death The the better they look in our eyes, right? Think about it Everybody that is despised in history, you know at the time of their death typically at some point History starts regarding them in a more favorable way I know people are gonna bring up people like Stalin and Hitler Well, not enough time has passed just yet, but give it time. I mean think about Alexander the great think about Napoleon I mean these were real Tyrants at the time and that did some really despicable things in their lives And now they are actually regarded in pretty high standing when you look at the history books and the way just the general population thinks about those particular historical figures and one of the signs of being in a negative state of being that should immediately trigger everyone is Aggressively defending something it doesn't matter what it is and when I say aggressively, of course that implies you're angry Which is why you're in a negative state of being right? So anytime you aggressively defend something that should be a trigger That should immediately alert you that you are in a negative state of being we as human beings We tend to defend our self-image, you know what we imagine ourselves to actually be which is false All right We can't properly evaluate ourselves other people have no problem evaluating us fairly But you cannot evaluate yourself in a in an unpartial way. It's just not possible So we defend our negative states because we think it's justifiable even though it isn't the truth is negative states are Never justifiable to get some other place to get where it is You want to be you know to ascend to whatever level it is you're trying to ascend to you know You must give up this idea of having to constantly defend this false image of yourself, right? You have to just give up the whole idea of defending because at the end of the day Defending something is almost like saying I don't want to move, right? That's saying I'm in this place You're trying to get me to be in another place. I'm not moving and That is that's never gonna get you anywhere where you want to be and the last thing I want to mention is actually how I started this particular video when I mentioned that the last thing you will ever do is take Responsibility for your negative states of being and the reason I say that is because the last thing you will ever do is take Responsibility for your negative states of being is because when you finally do take responsibility for those negative states of being guess what? You will stop being negative Now before I go I need to thank a few special people I want to thank the producers of this episode Ebsi Dallas gave Lou Mitchell Allen a commie arch 55 30 Chuck David the other David Dylan Gregory Lewis Paul Scott Wess and Willie these guys they are not negative at all They're very positive people and they are my highest tiered patrons over on patreon without these guys This little rant about negative states of being it would not have been possible The show is also brought to you by each and every one of these ladies and gentlemen as well All these names are seeing on the screen right now These are all my supporters over on patreon because the distro tube channel is sponsored by you guys the community If you'd like to support my work look for distro tube over on patreon.
