Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 When you meet, touch and contact someone with an infectious disease... that disease often travels to your body and its germs attack you! Depending on your inner strength, the nature of contact and the strength of the germs you get infected or remain somewhat safe! Emotions, mental pain and unhappiness spread in somewhat similar manner!!! Much of it travels and spreads unconsciously, unknown to the host and the recipient. But, often [though to some extent unconsciously] it drives its strength from the hidden and but powerful negative instincts in the host which SEEKS to make others *like itself*! It is a know fact that humans are most comfortable with those whom they perceive them to be at 'same level'! Other fact is that they unconsciously [and even consciously] try to bring others at the 'level' they are at! Deeply and chronically unhappy humans are often UNABLE to tolerate the presence of happy humans around them and thus, often unconsciously [and consciously] wish and *work* to make other unhappy! This *working* can operate at various subtle as well as blatant levels and it can *persist* to great extent both in time as well as in its *viciousness*! To some extent, it is *Fight for Survival* for the *unhappy* entity and it can only survive by either making others like itself [unhappy] or face it own elimination and become like its OPPOSITE [happy]! Most humans are unconsciously *forced* to fight for the survival of this *entity* and thus work to make others unhappy and when that fails then to *chase* them away and, when even that is not possible then to *retreat* back and escape to its own 'confined' unhappy corner! Matter, feelings and emotions share many of the same phenomenon... they have INERTIA and tend to remain 'as they are'! they have tendency to make others that comes into their contact like them! The old axiom, 'misery likes company' is possibly derived from this realization! And, the company that many humans 'intuitively' like is of the others 'like them' i.e. chronically unhappy people often 'seek' company of other unhappy humans and then *work* [consciously and unconsciously] to keep those around them in the *same* [unhappy] state! And, when they occasionally happen to come into contact with someone who doesn't have the same STATE [of unhappiness] they tend to work real HARD to make him/her *same* [unhappy]! This is a tendency that seems to be Very Much inbuilt and beyond control for most humans... Just as the germs spread from an infected body to *work* to make other SICK, negative emotions too *overpower* and *control* their host to make it *work* to make others unhappy and miserable! Somewhat a similar attitude applies to the perception of success too! It seems quite a great number of humans wish for and then relishes the news of other's miseries and problems especially if those failing are perceived as *successful*! The great popularity of the tabloid press and the human's fascination with the stories of celebrity breakups, separations, scandals, infidelity, fights, court cases, bankruptcies can be seen as emanating from that same HIDDEN Wish!
