Its so easy to see ourself as the standard of excellence. Finding the middle ground of acceptable behaviour sometimes takes a lifetime of trial and error. The easiest action to fall into is negativity. It's either learned behaviour or we just don't see the blessings in any situation. We can't see past our own life and pain. Negativity is an addiction!! A very lonely dark place to exist, and nobody wants to be around you.
1Peter 3:9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
I believe the Old Testament says it this way: "an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth". Or the 21st century version: "Pay it forward". In other words we will receive what we give. If we bless others instead of cursing, then it will come back around to us as a blessing when we least expect it.
Negativity keeps us trapped in a cycle of spewing our hidden pain on others, without revealing the real problem!! So yes, negativity is a very real addiction.
