Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall, Where Does My Self-Love Fall

These negative entities cannot survive inside purity. To shine the light on toxic relationships, one must embrace the pure essence of self-esteem, self-love, and self-confidence. Negative entities contaminate our ability to acquire self-esteem, self-confidence, and happiness, hindering our vision of the greatness that lives around us. Such contamination drains our energy and leaves us feeling listless. It can happen easily and quickly.

Toxicity in the context of a bigger stage, like today’s society, is readily apparent. The negative entity that creeps inside our circle is usually masked in a variety of shapes, sizes, and disguises—all creating conflict and damage. When the conflict erupts, we see the unhealthiness clearly. These unhealthy interactions become readily visible when our soldiers are on the battlefield fighting a war, when fathers fight against their sons, when mothers turn against their daughters, in the abandonment of and cruelty to our animals, in our emotions soaring against our feelings, in the abuse of alcohol and drugs, in the ugliness of illnesses and diseases—the list goes on. These unhealthy interactions become the norm and begin to make up our own relationships.
