How to Avoid Negativity

Sadly, the most influential thing in a person's life is the media as opposed to family, church, school, and friends like in the 1950's that influenced people then. The consequence for such negative change, has been that as a society we are filled with negative attitudes, negative emotions and negative actions. We have allowed corrupt yet glorified ideas to sicken our minds and consume our thoughts. Avoiding negativity is easier said than done but can be accomplished if you really try.
