Lol! Man, I WISH I were surrounded by light for hours! The reality is that many of us undergo just as much exposure to negativity as we do to positivity. As Ayadew astutely pointed out, you have to know hate in order to know love. You have to know what hot means in order to know its opposite of being cold. So having STS thoughts, to me, are a byproduct of living in society. It's what we do with those thoughts that really matter. For me, when I experience something that I soon find is rooted in being STS, I look at what's going on and ask myself, "Is this who I am?" Most of the time it's not, and so I try working on expressing the opposite reaction and making that belief a part of my daily existence.
Nothing you said is any different than what I go though day-to-day in being exposed to STS activities, or even having thoughts that are STS. But I think what people are learning to focus on is moving those STS thoughts into the heart, and converting them into their opposite nature instead of acting on them in reality (provided they have chosen to polarize in STO!)
Hope that helps a bit...

Hello All. I am new to the site and was looking for a forum I can relate to at this moment and I believe I have found it. I am also new to the info discussed on this site, so please forgive me for any ignorance. I like what Steve said about "learning to focus on is moving those sts thoughts into the heart and converting them into thier opposite nature". This is relevant to me because I deal with a lot of STS thoughts and have to constantly check my motives and ask myself Why am i acting a certain way. I have only been living a life of positive action for the past 18 months. Prior to that I was a completely selfish person. Today I deal with negative thoughts that stem from my past and I have to constantly remember to be in STO.
I hope that seems relevant to this post. I am just happy to be able to communicate with others about my feelings.
