Conversations between Negativity and Positivity

Okay, this is going to seem weird and pretty much psycho but this is how the everyday mind works, there's always evil in your mind speaking to you, to be tempted into sin. But there's you who makes it stop. It's your faith that helps you stay away from the temptation.

This is just my interpretation of it all.



CONVERSATIONS between Negativity and Positivity
Scene: The Mind

Positivity (My thoughts) is alone for now, talking about how his life is going and how he is feeling, until Negativity (The Devil) suddenly appears before him. There's a large wooden table keeping them apart from each other. There are glass windows in their surroundings and the ground is dark, dirty and old.

NEGATIVITY:
Now enter into his thoughts and his mind, get a closer look, Attack it! Tempt him!

POSITIVITY:
I'm fine now, I've always been fine. I'm good and I've always been good. No weapon formed against me can defeat me. I'm made of steal. I've defeated vices and addictions. I've defeated lust before, I've defeated the sight of evil and evil itself. I've conquered fear and depression. I'm new, I don't care about my past, I'm looking onto the future. Being alcohol free, drug free, where my eyes can see beauty rather than pleasure. I'm positive now, I don't need you negativity.

NEGATIVITY:
Don't speak such lies. Aren't you supposed to be saying that God helped you through all that, seems like you're relying on your own strength again Positivity. It's cool to be Positive, Positivity, but, there's such a thing as being too Positive. Isn't Arrogance a sin? Aren't you supposed to be good now? Seems like you enjoyed your life with me more.
Tell me positivity, why do you still get so frustrated? How come you ask yourself everyday, "Who Am I?" Don't you know who you are it's been 20 years! Don't you miss me? Don't you miss your freedom? Creating havoc and unleashing Hell!

POSITIVITY:
I don't miss that! Leave me alone! Get out of my mind! I don't need this! Listen here!
I've lived in the light and did good deeds for many years, 14 years to be exact. I've followed God before and I still do now. I do thank him for helping me okay! So be quiet! I've let him come into my life and change me to make me innocent and pure. I've been on fire for God and he has used me as his instrument, as his voice, as his hands and feet and I have never looked back, I rejoice everyday. I looked down on YOU, I would walk passed him and not even glance at the piece of dirt we know as the devil. If my God is with me, who could ever be against me? You, Satan? You couldn't even defeat my God! No one can, no man in this universe and even outside the realms of the spiritual world can defeat MY God!

NEGATIVITY:
But, Positivity, within those 14 years how many times were you classified to be perfect. We aren't perfect! I mean, how many times did you sin in those 14 years? You're even counting the years you were an infant. No infant has thoughts of impurity, no infant can pick up a gun and shoot it, that doesn't count! But answer me this, didn't you use the same voice to swear when you were 12 years old and haven't you continued that to this day? Didn't you use your hands to punch and steal! Oh and touch yourself somewhere nice. Didn't you use your feet to come running to me over and over again! You lived in my world and it's what you still breathe! Don't think you can leave my world! It's yours! It's your past so it's apart of you now! Don't you miss it? Don't you miss the taste of bourbon, don't you miss the taste of that plant, don't you just wish you could look at a girl in a different way again, other than just her beautiful smile and the green in her eyes? Don't you miss it Positivity!

POSITIVITY:
Of course I do, but that was the world I was prepared to leave behind. Stop crawling back, Negativity! I admit, I've sinned through out the days I was living for God, so you're right I'm not perfect! You're right I have to live with the fact that those dark days are apart of me now! I just want people to understand, I've lost my way for I've lived in the dark for so long. I need people to help me, I need My God to help me, I can't do it on my own. Yes, yes my frustration gets the best of me, of course I miss getting drunk and stoned, but they were my sins, they consumed me, I was addicted, but not anymore! I'm new! I'm new! Leave, I don't want to talk anymore, it hurts as it is, trying to be someone new. It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Let go. Let go of that world. I had fun. It was a habit. I was used to it. I was comfortable. Now I don't feel so comfortable. I try to live by my name 'Positivity!', but Negativity, you still get the best of me. But, I'll keep fighting!

NEGATIVITY:
Seriously Positivity, just get over it! Stop whinging! Come back! It's more fun here! Right? Don't you miss being angry! Don't you miss being that monster I turned you into! Remember me! Remember the fun we had! Look at you! You're still hiding behind your emotions! You never show your REAL emotions, there's always a hidden agenda with you! Come back! I mean look how annoying and confused you've become! You look so uncomfortable! You look so out of place! Do you really think you can last another 3 weeks without alcohol and marijuana, do you really think that? You're own friends say that you won't! So tell me, what makes you think you will? You don't have the best friends, they don't really like you, they just feel sorry for you, they have sympathy. Even your own parents and your siblings are ashamed of you. You'll never change! To be honest, Positivity, you bring more harm to others when you're like this. This good version. It disgusts me to see you like this! C'mon Positivity! You've lost more friends than you've gained lately. Speaking of gaining, since you've been quitting your addictions all you ever do is eat now. How's that good for you, Positivity? Getting fat, how are you going to get girls? They don't like fat people! Still jealous that half of your friends got the girls that you were into in the past? Don't cry now. Don't think about that girl like you are now! She's the reason you entered the world I live in, we lived in. Why else did you enter this world? You wanted to be accepted didn't you? How will you be accepted now? They don't even know where you stand anymore. They don't know who you are! You're lost, confused and scared! I mean you don't even know who you are yourself! Come back! It's better here. It's darker. No one sees you. Just the way you like it Positivity. Your insecurities come to life now, they can see it, just like your paranoia. They see your fear, they see it. Come back, I'll hide that for you.

POSITIVITY:
I don't care what you say, I'm not returning. I might have lost a lot of things, but it's been worth it. I've been able to smile without alcohol or drugs. I've managed to forget that girl now. I deal with confrontations better, I don't yell, I talk nicely now. My friends are proud of me and so is my family. They can see the change! They believe the change! I believe in God, and I believe he can help me. I don't care what you say, you don't rule over me anymore! You won't get the best of me anymore! You will die, and you will be nothing! You've always been nothing. The past might be apart of me, but it's behind me now Negativity! You must be shut down, and never restarted! This transition from being bad to good, it might be hard, it might make me want to give up, but am I? No! I've gotten this far, I'm not turning back now. I love this new me, and when time goes by, I will be better. I'll be taller, stronger and better than before. My God will conquer you and defeat you just like he conquers and defeats anything negative or evil in this world. This will be your end, this will be my beginning.

NEGATIVITY:
I'll still be around, whenever you want me to come back. When you begin to miss the fun your missing out on. Remember me! Remember me Positivity! I made you! I shaped you! Me! I created this! Mark my words Positivity! This goal you have to be new, it is going to destroy you! Trust me! Come back, it's liberating here! Look at you, you're restricted, don't you miss being a rebel. Come back! Come back! COME BACK!

POSITIVITY:
Thank you, Negativity. Really, I thank you for making me see both sides, I like this side better, I have something I didn't have last time. And you wanna know what that is? God.
Enjoy your world! For i'm sick of that world. I've had my fun, but it's about time it stops, this cycle of going back and forth it stops. You taking over it stops! The monster you created, it stops. You don't own me anymore. My God does, he always has, always will.
It's come to this, I'm afraid, Goodbye! LEAVE at once!

Negativity disappears for now. But how long will it take until Negativity returns again.

  1. negativity will always be waiting in the shadows to catch us off our guard so we just gotta keep alert and aware of our own thought life and clinging onto Jesus and His Word for our strength...
