Many of us have been taught, wrongly, from birth that the world is divided into equal parts good and bad. But spiritual teachings always tell a different story - where good occupies a majority no matter which part of the world or history you look at.

Hi everyone!

I hope that you guys are doing amazing wherever you are in the world.

My name is Boomshakha and I welcome you to my channel.

As always I'm so grateful that you're listening,

Subscribing and commenting.

I really appreciate the support and if you're interested in supporting me further you can do that by going to my Patreon or Ko-fi link.

They're both in the description below.

In this one I wanted to speak to you guys about something that I don't know if I've learned recently or but I've been hearing a lot about recently because of the coronavirus thing obviously because a lot of people are thinking about good versus bad,

Evil versus good,

You know things like that.

A lot of those conversations are coming up over and over again and with the people that I'm surrounded by,

My friends,

Family,

Relatives and even in the yoga school that I follow,

You know our teachers are talking about the good versus evil kind of debate as well and so I've been kind of thinking a lot about this and I think it came up yesterday in a conversation with my girlfriend and that's the reason I decided all right I need to do a video on this because obviously it's on top of mind right.

The basic essence of this is that and my friend said exactly the same thing and I had to interrupt her and I was like no I'm sorry but this is wrong and so we were talking about how obviously being on social media and being on YouTube being on Instagram I get a lot of people trolling me and obviously that's common it's pretty I mean I I'm still a newbie and I don't have that many followers I don't get that much trolls that many trolls but I do get a lot of people messaging me with comments where I'm thinking to myself that does not make any sense you're obviously just trying to get our eyes out of me so don't do that you know leave me alone and delete and block them but it's becoming more and more frequent now because I'm noticing obviously I think people are bored at home and so trolls what else are they gonna do they're gonna troll and so it's interesting because you know there are a lot more of them but my friend was saying you know you're probably being on the social media scene so much and being in the public eye you probably have to deal with a lot of trolls probably it's like 50% good 50% bad comments so you probably get 50% really nice comments or you know intelligent comments and 50% bad comments and you know I was like no I don't that's not right it's absolutely false actually in fact I would say that my rate and most people's rate is probably 99% good 1% bad so in general I get a lot of great interesting well thought out comments but are not critical sometimes they are critical but not in a way where they're trying to put me down but they really thought of something they're like you know I don't really agree with this but these are the reasons why and so a lot of comments 99% of them are in that manner where they've thought about it but their reasons why they like it or why they don't like it and then they present their comments or their arguments and they're very coherent and articulate fashion and as I said 90% of the comments I get I like that very smart and intelligent and comments that I want to get because I learned from them 1% very tiny amount of the number of comments that I do actually get in fact are those trollish comments where the person is just completely not listening to my videos or watching them just comments on something that's not related to it for example how fat my face looks or you know how I'm brown and I shouldn't be doing this video or my hair is not really combed or things like that you know my room is messy and you know they're just trolling they they're not actually they didn't they don't actually want to have an intelligent conversation they just want to put the person down because of course I mean something there's something going on within them maybe they're sad maybe they're depressed maybe they're whatever is going on it doesn't really matter to me I'm not their therapist and I'm not their savior and so you know I've just blocked as I said I delete the comment I don't I don't want to converse with them I don't even start that conversation I'll just delete the comment and block them from my channel so they can never post again but I thought it was interesting that my friend who has never done anything like this and she's just right now starting to put herself out there and that was one of her main fears as an individual so like oh my god I'm gonna get hundreds of people saying that I'm terrible and I'm a horrible person I have no idea what I'm doing and in fact actually most people will encourage you it's actually the opposite 99% of people will encourage you and say you're doing a great job maybe you can improve a little bit here and there but they'll be supportive of you and give you proper intelligent feedback which you can use in order to improve yourself and so in general people are actually really kind and generous and good that's the essence of this idea which I want to share with you because a lot of times what we end up thinking and also I think what society teaches us and what the media teaches us specifically and what you know a lot of what's going on right now is that most people are thinking that the world is made up of 50% or more sometimes people think that 80% of the world is made up of terrible people bad people evil people and only 20% or 50% of the world is actually good and so a lot of us kind of have this kind of this mentality in our head and all I know a lot of you what you're gonna do is you're gonna message me commenting saying oh no it might be the case for you because you live in a nice world and you have a great family and you have a supportive family and and you do this and that but for me I live in a world where my everyone around me is terrible and everyone around me sucks and I know you're gonna say things like that and I know you're gonna comment like exactly like this just fine because of course a lot of it has to do with perception as well you know it is about how you come into the world and how you show up but in general even my yoga school and my teachers my gurus will say the same thing if you look at any of the teachings of any of the religious books or spiritual books or anything like that you'll always notice the same tenet the same thread that says that it is not a 50 50 percent divide even the devil and you know the evil that's in the world there's only one of them but there's hundreds and thousands of angels and gods and and those kind of creatures to balance out that little bit of evil and so or even not even balance out but to kind of over override it actually so in fact in in my opinion and the way I've been reading things in the way I've been looking at the world and especially about all the good stuff that's happening in the world despite the fact that a lot of people are dying a lot of people are still doing a lot of good people are giving away a lot of their savings or like their their money or their you know benefits in order to protect other people giving up a groceries helping other people and so in fact what happens is that as an individual you know we have to really be careful and it happens very easily because the media can influence us very fast you know we read some an article on something and say oh my god it's their fault they're the ones you know it's Chinese people there there are other people they're the ones who are at fault here and you know we should just not talk to them anymore we should just stop trade with them they're the they're the reason everything's going wrong in the world or we look at something else and we're like oh it's all because of Ethiopia or you know we look at something else and we're like oh it's all because of America are you know and so like a lot of this information is designed to get a rise out of us it is designed to make us feel like we are that the world is polarized in that fashion it is designed to make us feel that there is a divide where there are a lot of there's a lot of bad happening in the world a lot of evil happening in the world and a lot less good unfortunately that's the way the world is set up it doesn't mean that we actually have to behave this way doesn't mean that we actually have to feel this way doesn't mean that we actually have to look at the world this way in fact if you notice if you really try to pay attention and you don't let your biases or your life experiences or a lot of biases actually a lot of you guys are very biased towards negativity if you don't let your biases kind of override your intelligence if you actually intelligently critically look at the world you will you will realize that there's a lot more good happening in the world than bad actually and our society and media and the world and our parents even teach us to look at the good sorry look at the bad first and less of the good because I think they're trying to protect us our parents do this as to us as children because they're like you know if you're only looking at good you might go off with a stranger who offers you a piece of candy so you know make sure that they have paranoia and that make sure they don't trust anyone make sure they think everyone is out to get them so then they protect themselves and so that's the kind of idea and a viewpoint that all of us are raised with not only from my parents but from teachers teachers are always telling us you be careful don't go off with anyone don't do this don't do that this is dangerous that's dangerous don't you know don't go here that's a dangerous place to go to that's a danger you know people always asking me about Thailand they're like oh it must be really dangerous there like what are you talking about you know it's probably much more dangerous being in the US and Detroit or New York than being in in Chiang Mai in Thailand or in Bangkok even and so again this perspective I know a lot of you as I said are gonna message me saying no but you my life if you only saw my life I don't know what your life is like but I I can imagine that a lot of it has to do with the fact that you're not even paying attention to anything good that's happening in your life probably there is some good the world isn't like that and I cannot believe that there is that you are the one person on this planet who has everything bad happening to them and everyone's against you and everyone's taking advantage of you and nothing good has ever happened to you and nothing good will ever happen to you I cannot imagine that you could possibly live in such a polarized a negative world where everyone is out to get you that's not the way the universe works no matter how much you tell me so and if you think that I'm wrong just unsubscribe because I really don't want to argue with people like you anyways right so in general this is my viewpoint on it and this is the idea that I've been that happened has been shared over and over again with me from a lot of different sources that it's not 50 50 percent or not even 60 40 it's actually 99 one or even if you want to go really really negative and be like 90 percent of the world is good and 10 percent is bad even then it is always in the majority towards good where it's as bad as always in the majority because that's the way the world is set up so that is my thing my spiel on this idea on this subject if you guys have anything intelligent to offer or if you have suggestions to offer on things that you can read or things like that definitely share it but if you're gonna just say that you are the one person on this planet who has a terrible life and everyone's against you then don't bother because I'm gonna delete that comment anyways and I'm already warning you because really that I'm not gonna keep that comment on my channel and you can just unsubscribe if that's the case all right again thank you so much for being on my channel I really appreciate your support thank you and I shall see you guys next time around bye for now
