Faith Quote by Edward Shaylitsa
“I have experienced great sadness cause I didn't know. I wondered why does one day my mind decides to go against me and trash my day, why does my mind have such negativity. and I have searched and believe that I have been placed in the midst of it and I call it earth. there is darkness everywhere. and to find a positive atmosphere you have to seek it!. negativity as we see it exist everywhere in music, art, movies, people, war, religion, society. for me to isolate myself from that is to not allow all that to influence me , for my mind runs by which I input. I need to surround myself around a positive atmosphere. I need to change what I am around cause whether I know or not I will still be influenced by it! so positive music, movies, people, art, people, and relationship with the creator.”
