Acceptance & Transcendence

– “How to deal with negativity?”
– “Understand it. Most people don’t.”
– “What do most people do?”
– “They offer denial to it.
That’s what turns negative things negative.
They offer refusal to reality.
It gives plasticity to negativity.
Assuring the very horror we hope to run from.”
– “But what other option are we left with?”
– “Acceptance.”
– “Nonsense. That’s submission.
That’s surrender. That’s defeat.”
– “My friend, I’m talking about acceptance;
not agreement.
Of course we disagree with negativity.
But we must accept it’s there.
We must accept reality.”
– “That’s just making peace with
a disagreement.
What good will that do?”
– “This universe is in a constant flux.
Everything comes from something else.
Positivity is negativity arranged differently.
To transcend negativity and reach positivity,
we must see negativity as a stepping stone.
The first step of the staircase of
necessary effort.
It’ll remain hollow till we offer denial to it.
Can’t step on what’s hollow, now can you?
It’s solid only when we accept it.
Only that acceptance lets us step up.
Only that acceptance lets us climb up:
study it; know it; learn its mechanisms;
find counter-measures; strategize; apply; win.
For that’s what negativity is:
Inspiration for rise, growth, betterment.
And possibly source of building blocks for it.
To see it as such, is a choice.”
