All Vibes Matter 💜
Posting this in reference to my last repost.
I have noticed many in the postmodern world (especially the new age movement) trying to hide from all forms of darkness or negativity.
Ignoring conflict, controversy, or discomfort and striving to live in a personal utopia.
I don't see that as a path towards growth 🙂
this is a sign of a cultist. almost all cults have some arbitrary "what is good" and that's what they are talking about.
everything else they have been trained to have a phobia about.
I’m in the good vibes camp. Ultimately I think it’s too great a simplification; there’s no good or bad, just how we feel. People who feel bad about things aren’t looking without their own biases, so we could say bad vibes = biased, and therefor unworkable (as not grounded in reality) narratives.
Probably not what you were talking about, but another perspective for the table. Perhaps reframing good vibes only as genuine vibes only could be better (where that encompasses people talking about ‘bad’ things no differently - just from an honest and therefor constructive, and thus positive, standpoint).
Side note, my gravitation to resonating with ‘good vibes only’ was being tired at all the doomsdayers who just seemed to have a problem with everything (understandable) but no solutions - so the net result was just being brought down into gloominess.
Good points for sure. As long as people are speaking to each other respectfully I think all forms of genuine expression add value.
All feelings are valuable. They provide the fuel to take action. Sometimes the chosen action makes the situation worse and sometimes better.
Good Vibes Only can be a constructive way to get out of negativity cycles, but I've often seen it turn in to a tool for avoidance. My current project is learning to empathize with myself and anyone else regardless of the state they are in.
Easier said than done 🙂
Constructive vibes only 😅 #stoicism
