I used to believe, expecting negative outcomes, focusing on suffering and negativity, would invite these things. Anytime people around me were unhappy or depressed or expecting a negative outcome, I would try to get them to be positive about the situation instead of excepting reality.
Yes this can be true to a certain extent, but the reality is, no matter how much we pretend something bad won't happen, for example, an earthquake. We cannot prevent this thing.
Our lives, we are in a sense, fated by the past, to exist here in this moment, If this moment brings hardship, suffering, negative outcomes, it is important not to ignore these things, but to examine it carefully.
It is not our responsibility to bring to an end all the negative things that could occur. But to be able to stand above these things with wisdom. The ability to come out of any situation while retaining and enhancing our advancement.
