Beware of vampires

Vampires are very real.  They are not just fictional creatures.  They are a metaphor for people who will suck the lifeforce right out of you if you let them.  I refer to negative people as vampires because that is how I see them.  These people live for no other reason than to go around sucking the blood from other people, and infecting them with their disease, creating more vampires in the process.  People who insist on being negative are never satisfied, and they seem to want nothing else than to bring other people down with them and infect them with their negativity.

How To Spot A Vampire…

Known to be suave and sophisticated, vampires are known to be deceptive to their victims, hiding their true nature.  On first impression, vampires can be mistaken as charming and personable.  It is only after the victim lets their guard down that a vampire shows their true nature.  At this point, the vampire will do what it does naturally, and attempt to feed off of your blood, or in this case, your personality.  For once you allow a vampire to come into your life, you will be fighting an uphill battle to not become one yourself!

Of course, once vampirism has seeped into a person’s blood, they are no longer at liberty to fight who they are.  It is very difficult to turn away from a mindset of negativity, as one gets to urge to live his or her life feeding off of other people.  Vampirism, just like negativty, is highly contagious, and can very easily spread from person to person.  Before you know it, you have an pandemic on your hands!

Don’t Make Yourself Vulnerable!

The real clincher about vampires is that you have to invite them into your home.  You must welcome their presence before they can proceed to suck your blood.  If you refuse to let a vampire inflict you with their negativity, then they can never do you harm.  However, once you invite them into your house, you are now fighting an uphill battle to keep them from feeding on your blood.  The way that you invite a vampire into your home is to simply cave in to the negativity that they bring and allow yourself to become a negative person as well.

How To Defeat A Vampire…

Luckily, vampires have a weakness!  The weakness of all vampires is sunlight, or positivity in this case.  By allowing sunshine and positivity into a room with a vampire, they will be weakened, althought beware that before the vampire is vanquished by your positive outlook, they will become hostile and belligerent.  However, don’t doubt that sunshine and positivity can weaken even the most hardcore of vampires!

Sunshine, however, only prevents vampires from getting too comfortable.  In order to break the curse of vampirism, you have to kill the head vampire, meaning you have to stop the negativity at the source.  Negativity creates more negativity.  It’s highly contagious.  It’s not good enough to stop the negativity of one person unless they happen to be the one who influences others to be negative.  This is evident when an employer decides to fire an employee to create better morale at the workplace.  If the person being fired isn’t the source of the bad morale, then firing that person will not do any good at all!  The head vampire must be killed, or fired in order to cure the disease.

Vampirism Is A Disease

We all know a few vampires.  Maybe you, yourself are a vampire?  Only you know for sure.  And while the spell of vampirism is strong, you can overcome it for yourself.  If you decide that you want to stop being a vampire, then you must kill the head vampire.  You must stop the negativity in your life at the source.  If you cannot convince the person who is creating this disease to cease their wicked ways, then your only option is to get away from this person so that you can begin your recovery from this horrible disease.  And if you yourself are infecting other people with your negativity, then only you have the power to stop and to adopt a better philosophy.  Of course, it’s not easy to break an addiction for blood, but it can be done!

If you won’t do it for yourself, then do it for your friends, family, and colleagues.  Don’t infect other people and create more vampires.  Stop the cycle, and create some positivity in your life.  Start looking at the glass as half full, and stop complaining all of the time!  Despite how the movie industry glamourizes vampires, and how Anne Rice and Stephanie Meyer make a living off of writing about them, there is nothing cool about being a vampire!  Quick living in the dark!  Quit sucking people’s blood!  And for goodness sakes, stop infecting other people with your disease!
