They send checks with Hatred, but I don't encash them.. Their hatred would remain in their accounts...From <a href="http://www.dhamma.org/en/art.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.dhamma.org/en/art.shtml</a>How do we start generating negativity?By investigation, it   becomes clear. We become unhappy when we find someone behaving in a   way that we don't like, or when we find something happening which we   don't like. Unwanted things happen and we create tension within.   Wanted things do not happen, some obstacle comes in the way, and again   we create tension within; we start tying knots within. And throughout   life, unwanted things keep on happening, wanted things may or may not   happen, and this process of reaction, of tying knots—Gordian   knots—makes the entire mental and physical structure so tense,   so full of negativity, that life becomes miserable. Now, one way to solve this problem is to arrange that nothing unwanted   happens in life, that everything keeps on happening exactly as we   desire. Either we must develop the power, or somebody else who will   come to our aid must have the power, to see that unwanted things do   not happen and that everything we want happens. But this is impossible.   There is no one in the world whose desires are always fulfilled, in   whose life everything happens according to his or her wishes, without   anything unwanted happening. Things constantly occur that are contrary   to our desires and wishes. So the question arises: how can we stop   reacting blindly when confronted with things that we don't like? How   can we stop creating tension and remain peaceful and harmonious? The difficulty is that we are not aware when negativity starts. It   begins deep in the unconscious mind, and by the time it reaches the   conscious level it has gained so much strength that it overwhelms us,   and we cannot observe it.    Now, with training, we can see the other side of the coin. We can be   aware of our breathing and also of what is happening inside. Whatever   it is, breath or sensation, we learn just to observe it without losing   our mental balance. We stop reacting and multiplying our misery.   Instead, we allow the defilements to manifest and pass away.     The more one practices this technique, the more quickly negativities   will dissolve. Gradually the mind becomes free of defilements,   becomes pure. A pure mind is always full of   equanimity in the face of any situation. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/wink.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
