Let's be a tree-hugging Hippie today.

There's so much negativity in the world. Let's dwell in the happiness of false consciousness and tell yourself everything is OK, it's just a fad, it'll pass, and it's always for the greater good.

There's a thin line between the borders of prudence and negativity. Many people walk on that line. Bosses press you to be more efficient because they are prudent. But one slight misrepresentation of the way he spoke to you will come as negativity. You go into your office trying very hard to protect yourself because you are prudent and you protect your interests in case your colleagues throws you a curve ball and gets you fired.

You shun away from being too friendly with your college mates because they seem to be just using you. Same goes for colleagues. Friends always tell you the bad stuff about other friends; also popularly known as 'Gossip' or 'Caring for the person'. People keep on saying 'Oh, this is badm and we must do something about it.' Television tells you all the bad stuff that's happening and teaches you how to prevent yourself from getting killed in case such a thing happened to you. Your momma tells you not to talk to strangers, reinforcing the fact that there's a lot of bad people out there, and that's probably VERY true.

There's so much bad news in the News. And there's no such thing as good news, because we always see it from a negative point of view. Tax deduction is always influenced by an increase in something else, and most of the time it's not even balancing off what was reduced. The rich seems to be getting forever richer, when the poor rot in thier little shacks not even fit for the rich man's chihuahua.

See, all this negativity is having a bad influence on me.

So, let's be a tree-hugging Hippie today.

Hug a tree (if you can find one big enough) and feel the positive energy of Momma Nature.

If you happen to be in the middle of KL and trees can only be found on 'islands' in the middle of the road, don't risk it!

I'm so positive today... *proceeds to hug my own imaginary tree which I brought to KL from Sabah.*
