TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE

A person who lives with a negative mindset is a product of history, while someone with a positive mindset is a creator of history. The former is influenced by historical circumstances, whereas the latter thinks beyond them and makes new history.

Unpleasant circumstances always exist in the world. There are always reasons for one person to complain against another. During such times, those who adopt a reactionary mindset become just products of history. They fall victim to their surroundings. These individuals are often involved in protest actions and are unable to achieve any meaningful progress.

In contrast, a true human being is one who thinks beyond circumstances and forms his own opinions independently of reactions. Such a person rises above history. They are in a position to shape the world rather than be influenced by it. They become makers of history.

All animals are shaped by history, but it is a human’s role to make history through their actions. They become history-makers by their own efforts.

A negative mindset can be deadly for a person. Someone who falls into negative thinking is essentially being harmed by their circumstances. In contrast, a person who shields themselves from negative tendencies and reactive thoughts stays alive despite external challenges. They have protected their existence from being lost.

The foundation of a negative mindset is outside a person, while the foundation of a positive mindset is within. A person with a negative mindset depends on others, whereas someone with a positive mindset relies on their own self. This alone is enough to show who can be called a superior human being. The most deprived and foolish person is one who had the chance to be creative in this world but chose to remain merely a product of circumstances.
