It is easy to be swayed by negative thoughts. They seep into us with little or no effort. Many times, we do not even know it is happening. Then we suddenly find ourselves thinking and saying things that we would never want to count as a part of us, if we considered the ramifications of those sentiments.
To be good, on the other hand, takes effort and patience. It does not always come naturally or easily.
Meir Kahane is credited with saying after an attack on the Knesset many years ago, "The worse it gets for Israel, the better it gets for me."
Kahane knew that calling on the negativistic side of humanity is not difficult.
