Why Be So Negative?

NEGATIVE:

One young boy stood holding on to the poles behind me. He was a smart young man. During the trip the young boy talked how stupid his teachers were. The conversation turned about how bad the principal and the office staff was. Then he told me how our best Sunday School teacher was ignorant and unprepared. He then started talking about our Pastor. He said the pastor screamed and yelled and preached too long. His mouth kept running. The music at church was too loud and it was dragging and sounded like funeral music. He concluded how stupid and loud mouth his father was.

I PONDERED HOW DID SUCH A YOUNG MAN HAVE SO NEGATIVE ATTITUDES ABOUT EVERYBODY AND LIFE. A few weeks later I drove a car load of ladies to a women’s meeting 2 hours from the church. There was a lady sat next to me in the front seat of the car. The lady started putting down everybody she knew. She talked about the schools being rotten. The pastor was mean. Her husband was an absolute idiot. He was so bad she left him. I found out this lady was the mother of the negative young boy. I UNDERSTOOD WHERE THE YOUNG BOY HAD DEVELOPED SUCH A LOW OPINION OF EVERYONE HE KNEW. The boy’s mother had POISONED HIS HEART WITH TRASH TALK. I moved away. I have always wondered what happened to that mother and her son?
