When I read things that are unpleasant to me that people write, I have a tendency to feel drained. I realized the majority of that was my inner thoughts about the person who wrote them.
How many people on curezone do we keep stored in our brain/hearts, negative thoughts about? I bet we all have quite a few. Only when we really love them and release them from our ideas of how perfect they should be at this point in their lives, do we feel at ease ourselves.
No, we are not perfect but I hope we are all striving to go that direction.
I no longer believe in emotional vampires...that just puts the blame in the wrong place.
