Everyone has possitive and negative feelings. That is using definitions accepted within our society, and I am not trying to define which are which here.

Possitive emotions are best channelled into something, and if nothing else yourself. But where should we channel negative energy. I put my best into the fair trade movement, my reading and making friends laugh...however as despair and depression is trying to get through I have no focus for it.

It does not make huge sense to stick it towards society as a whole, that will result in difficulty in appreciating the aspects you were positive towards. Towards a place or person is hatred. To spread it out is to reduce everything in your eyes. Is there any where to channel these feelings and make them positive?

you must overcome your negitive energy with positive energy yourself, or with the help of a positive influence! :)

try not to pass on negitive energy ;) ie. If you do not have anything nice to say, do not say anything at all!

peace yall

try not to think of it as positive and negative energy.

Its all energy, and you can do whatever with that energy, art and poetry are some ways of using energy, and an 'acceptable' way to express negative energy.

I didn't really no what I meant when I started this thread, but I think I do now even if I can't explain it. I have slackened off on exercise my writing and my music, it seems as things hit me more, have less desire to use the vents I have available.

Poetry and things are good, because if others do read them then they can feel good knowing you are bad.

I guess I was getting at where we hurl abuse when we are being wankers.

It all depends on how you define the energy inside you. No matter what, your feelings and ideas will always exist in opposites. Some people classify their energy as good and evil, or sinful and pious, or light and dark, or aggressive and passive, or happy or sad. But you should know that the energy you have is not inherently good or bad or positive and negative, just opposite. If you can get your mind and your way of thinking into a manner in which you can see things in an alternative perspective, like everything you think and feel is positive and everything you don't think and feel is negative. Redefine your perception of existance and the nature of existance.
In regard to where it goes, it goes everywhere. Like throwing a stone into a pond and seeing the waves spread out in rings across the water, and like Radar, the energy is partially absorbed then bounced back to the source.

When you hurl insults at others, the recieve them and feel them, but don't feel them forever, the energy is bounced back to you though of course, everything you give you also get.

hope that helps

I think it was all this pain i've been through in my life what made me want to be a better person really.At my 19 years of life, i have seen awful things,things that the eyes of a 19-year-old should never have seen.I've seen hate instead of love,war instead of peace,death instead of life ,i've seen people being taken advantage of just because they weren't born wealthy and powerful ,i've seen people losing heart,losing their ETHICS for money... And all this hit me ,i'm fed up!- so i have promised myself that i'm going to fight injustice with every way that i can....i wouldn't be who i am if i hadn't suffered so much.There is where my negative feelings led me.

negative feelings mine stay with me go to the bottom of my feet bottled up until i can't hold them and then i let it all go and start again, don't let things get you down whilst you can do things to make you forget or at least distracted. edit sorry thats more perasonal negative feelings when it comes to humanity do what you think is right when the time is right.

wasn't it in the godfather where he said never show anyone what you are thinking?
