Can we change the sadness?

These are just my thoughts (my opinions) about the pervading sadness that seems to be in the air now.
Many on this forum are feeling a sadness around them, that they haven't before felt.

If we, for one day, (even as an experiment) took stock of every thought our minds are sending into
the atmosphere, every word we said aloud and every action we performed, to see first if it was in
accordance with every other thing in existence, could we create surroundings with a higher quality
of vibration and would this affect the entire world in a positive way?

I think, yes.

Everything in the multiverse is constantly influencing every other thing.
Every thing you THINK influences your household, your surroundings, your relationships.
Not only immediate surroundings but your individual thoughts affect the whole of creation.

There seems to be a sadness in the air that becomes more and more difficult to shake off
and we feel this all around.
This is not from any other source but thoughts from our own minds.
No one can raise the quality of another person's consciousness.
The responsibility must be lifted from the individual.
Thought must be free and each soul must find his own path and his own destiny.

The entire multiverse reacts to and is influenced by every individual action, word and thought.
We are all connected.

When a thought of fear or hate enters the mind, it's important to change the way of thinking.
When complaints and critical faultfinding, gossip about other people, enter your mind,
shy away from this pattern of thought.
What would happen if for one day, every soul of Earth did this?
People would see changes in their lives which they can't now even imagine!
Beyond that, Think how, if these negative thoughts were not sent into the world,
it would honestly change the entire world!


Try it! Try it for one day! Expect miracles in your life!


I would ask politely, the person who constantly attacks me to please refrain from posting on this thread. Thank you so much!

@Gaer, this is really well put, never thought about it, and wouldn't put in these words but you are absolutely right. And my words would have been much less elegant and coherent. Thanks!

I'm not sad either, but I have seen sadness and know many people are. I think this is as much or more about helping end the sadness of others as much as our own.

I just spent 3 days in rehab for my legs. It was a combined rehab and nursing home facility. Many more very old and quite infirm people than people like me. I did not really get to know them, not there long enough, but I know there were many sad people.
 

I'm not sad these days, but I'm apprehensive. The previous pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the mid-term elections, Inflation, the rollercoaster stock market, the devastation in Florida due to climate change, the division in our country... they make me anxious. I would prefer to be oblivious to all of it, but I need to stay informed because ultimately it may affect my quality of life.
 
I actually find this forum to be refreshing and upbeat...no sadness here either.

@Gaer-

You're so in tune with your surroundings. Almost as if you have a sixth sense. It's a wonderful character trait to have. You're a lovely and thoughtful individual and this little community is better for having you on board. :)
 
Gaer, I love your suggestion. I am not usually sad but a good friend of mine is dying. I found out Friday and have been visiting daily to make sure he is getting the care he needs at his assisted living facility.

On Friday he wasn’t but I made sure that hospice reviewed the pain medications with facility staff and complained to the person in charge. There’s no reason for him to suffer. I have known this man for 25 years since we started working together and became friends. He has no children or local relatives to visit.

Yes, there are many
I talk to 'em almost every day
Fun to get 'em to smile
More fun to get 'em to laugh

Not some '60s ethereal kumbaya vibe thing
Just face to face

Do you work or volunteer in such a place? Either way they are lucky to have you. In my limited experience (2 days hospital and 3 days rehab) it is bad enough to have to rely on others for so much, but not all the staff are real friendly or helpful. Many are, its a mix, but I suspect I got more attention being new and the "young healthy" one. Probably the last time in my life I will feel that way.

The place I went was clean, very nice and had plenty of facilities available and not crowded at all. Staff was sometimes a problem. More often what seemed to me to be disorganized management of the staff, but sometimes the person. Seem to have too many people with narrow work assignments and lots of rotation, makes it hard for any one of them to get to know you or your situation. Many times I'd have one leg iced or looked and and I would need to tell them it was both.... The other problem is that many of the lower level staff, the people you see the most of were quite young, inexperienced and probably poorly paid. I spoke to one of the women who helped me a bit, discovered she was 16 and a junior in high school, working part time.

It has to be hard on a person working with so many folks who are quite old and sick, and likely will be there the rest of their lives. Many die there. Hard to expect those young and inexperienced to understand and always do it well. The nurses were for the most part pretty good, no complaints there for me, but they were spread pretty thin. A few times I got no response when pushing the buzzer button, once in Rehab after waiting 2 hours I finally gave up and went to the nurse's station, at that point I was not allowed out of be unassisted. At the hospital I was not allowed even to go to the bathroom without supervision, I did anyway and got in trouble. They set an alarm on my bed that went off whenever I got up, found that was the best way to get someone quickly.

I know they were all pretty busy, and most of the patients needed the attention more than I did. What bothered me most about it was thinking how that would be for a person not capable of getting themselves up.

You are right about the residents, despite my short time there I did have a few fun interactions. One morning a very elderly lady in an electric wheel chair watched me hobbling around a bit and told me she wished she could walk like that. She succeeded in cheering me up. Another time the kitchen staff did not bring me most of what I had ordered, an elderly lady overheard me complaining to them and brought me hers. I had a few other positive interactions, enough to know that some minds were still clear and capable of humor. More than one of them welcomed me to the "funny farm".

There could be a variety of good reasons for a pervading sadness. Most of us probably live in part on invested assets, the product of a lifetime of saving. The current economy and rate of inflation have had an adverse effect on most of those investments and the accompanying political tensions have probably cost the combined US members of this group several million dollars. And then there is the nuclear threat of the Ukraine war that is hanging over the world. That said I'm not feeling sad, but I can see how some might.

That's a rational approach and realistic. There are terrible things happening in all parts of the world. There is little we can do about it, apart from showing sympathy for the victims and condemnation for the perpetrators. We cannot pretend that these atrocities are not happening. At the same time, it is no reason for us to be personally unhappy. That achieves nothing. Gaer is correct when she says that our thoughts and actions affect the Earth's atmosphere. If enough people send out feelings of positivity and hope, it just might have an effect. There have been experiments done which have proved that it does actually help.
There is so much evil in the world. We can fight it through our thoughts without putting ourselves in danger.

Of course you do, you are a good grandmother and that's what good grandmothers do.

I try to let go of those thoughts, I did my best and now its in the hands of a new generation. I am sure you did too, probably better than me.

Gaer, an evocative opening post. I do believe society exerts a powerful force on individuals. The effect is great sadness but in many instances, I also see glimpses of joyfulness.
Individually, we can all make a difference, but just think, if we as human beings, can come together and harness our collective energy, what an achievement that would be for mankind.
We’re all connected, I agree, and, if we can learn new ways to interact with each other and support each other’s growth instead of trampling on the dreams of others, then yes, miracles will happen!
 
When we have crazy dictators and crazy wanna be dictators and all their followers inflicting misery, lies and chaos on the world we should not be surprised at the sadness, division and worry they generate. This is not thoughts in our mind but a very real danger to our well being.
 
There's a lot to be sad about if you watch TV (news and today's movies).
I see far more to be happy about. I look for it and dwell there.
Like my tagline says,"Find what you love and let it heal you".
