In this world that we live in we are taught to have self gratification. Self impowerment. We are taught that we can search the depths of heart, mind and soul and find the wisdom deep within ourselves. We are pretty much taught to become “lovers of ourselves” i.e. that we are our own gods. However, the most high tells us,
Proverbs 9:10 King James Version (KJV)
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Becareful in being lead by your impression that you are wise. It can and will decieve you.
1 Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

Hey, we all know those negative people in our lives that when you talk to them they always have something negative to say. Their pointof view is toxic. Their conversation of others is toxic but they never seem to mention anything negative about themselves. I guess that they don’t have to. You can get a pretty good understanding of who they are, what they are dealing with mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically just by what they say out their mouth. As for you there is nothing wrong with using great prudents in your daily interaction with negative people. Sometimes you have to put certain people on time restrictions. What do I mean by this? If you k ow that you’re talking to this negative person and everytime the conversation goes more than two hours long the conversation will take a turn for the worse. The conversation will go in a direction that is not conducive for either one of you. Then learn and know how to end it and say your good-byes. Sometimes it’s good to know how to redirect the conversation in a different but most people that have fruits of negativity flowing out of the fruits of their lips will and can drain you if you say longer around them then you should. And hey, most of these people probably don’t know that they are draining the people that they talk to on a daily bases. They don’t know and some probably do but don’t care. So it’s your responsibility to evaluate your life and understand what you want to surround yourself with. Because that toxic conversation places things in your spirit. What you hear on a regular can rub off on you and affect you if your not careful. So it’s is important to use prudents when dealing with hell, anybody, even yourself if you k ow that you have a negative spirit about you. Lastly, I get that some negative people are cool to hang around. It’s just when they open their mouth, you kind of say to yourself “now why would you do that. Why would you mess up a good moment between use?” So try and talk to them to let them know that everyone they talk they have something negative to say. And see how they respond. If you’re dealing with a person who does not mind being corrected and they will do their best to change. Then hey, God bless you. That’s a person that probably needed a friend to encourage growth within them. If you find out that your talking to a person that doesn’t not want to be corrected then hey you found out that their bs is now your bs. But you should never not be afraid to voice and realize that you are a positive person who does not want to surround themselves around negativity. Sometimes you gotta cut people off and let them know where you stand. If you don’t man you’ll be sitting back here trying to figure out how and why you allowed this to further continue on.
