Negativity and Positivity is 2 sides of the same coin, its just a matter,of perspective, its your choice,Negativity is like poison from a large snake except it damages the soul,instead of the body, so treat it as a snake, remove the head,A Good Warrior is Always a Great Gentleman,I will quit when I am dead,The Week minded are easily corrupted, train your mind as well as your,body to be defiant until the end,Be a warrior of good and train hard to keep demons at bay.
