The passing of a negative affect.
Negative affects and events run together.
If then I am sad, then that sadness will have a fidelity. and occasion. In being sad I remember than… or this about you. Likewise to be angry is to remember what you did. Only or to hate you is to turn the sorrow you cause into itself the e vent. I hate you so act. You in me is a figure a picture I react to a spin of hatred.
What One does not really want to do in such case is to compromise the feeling. That is one does not ant anything extra into it. I do not want you, f I am to defend the sadness to enter into it and solve it. My sadness, my hatred is therefore folded into me, I am careful about sharing it. It is a place I feel I need to hide or might be ashamed of.
And yet as a n affect, or as something with roots that r affective or something than might want to be affective share it will. Better share it in sense I must. To something about an action, to act upon a hate or to end a sadness something needs to be let in, something else some other. Need to make anther sad hat in my reaction to their sadness I see also myself. Or else I need to let other voices into my mind, ones that are capable of fighting the sadness and making is sing differently. I need therefore to open a mind into others.
Here though is real dilemma the negative face. O open ones mind to the above choices is problematic. The former unpicks the sadness and mitigates the hatred, The very act then of moving beyond what I m and reaching to another creates edifies and complexities which makes this better: likewise exporting the sadness to a you and requiring you to have it, so I might act (in answer to it.: that is I might take revenge of no, is based upon great ac of focus I can only answer the sadness or mitigate it, and react t it in you, if you and I actually share the same sadness. If we do not, or cannot or do but not really, the all my reaction to that sadness all my use of it will slip and be sort at naught.
Or to put it another way. to hold and act of sad passions is t face a dilemma. One can restrict those passions to oneself – a private world of miser and sadness which goes no where- or it does lets no one else within it. I am sad – I hate, and you will never understand. One might then accepting the position of ones passions endlessly brood upon the same.
But to act in such a manner is too be open to a thousand problems and fears. Everything to the brooding mind is significant and impotent. One cannot therefore win out. The negative passions seep into ones mind and drag one down in a than haunted reflections. The world rendered negative is a world determine to undermine and revoke everything and anything one is.
To try to have fidelity to the negative becomes a doubly constant process. On the one hand one is maintaining and watering the negative feeling. One takes passions out and ensures the hatred is as real and ever. The negative to work needs o be a paradigm: We feed our hatreds. But in doing so we start to confuse the hating with the world itself, The world itself becomes then bled into the frightening. Everything is out to get us. Our position our negativity becomes then absolute and fixed. It is constant in the world and problematic to or for it. We are bound by our world.
We seek to maintain our hatreds therefore in spite of the world until we reach such a point where the world accepts us as a hateful thing and yet then other fears crowd in as well other hating. The negative s the world blows up in our face, and dreams become haunted with a thousand sleep walkers and a million extra problems. We move very gently into the paranoid. The worlds reply as negative- is scary enough
To keep a negative is dangerous therefore as we come fixated in the single event we have a fidelity to it; and yet at the same time the world has no fidelity to us, but only our passions. Just then as we hold the line of the single event, the d crowds extra little sadness upon us, haunting our dreams and ,making the normal feel utterly paranoid. We enter into a dreadful world, where the negative and sadness is everywhere, as pure passions bleed out.
It is therefore to be locked in the Harmon prison or the Boffin’s Bower, hoarding what one ha desperately, the piles of memories and the rubbish, fearing when the outside enters in that it might remove something that would change what one way, but fearing more the outside it. lf and its string power to break in when it was not expected or wanted. One endlessly therefore is caught up in having t police what tumbles into ones world, one has to stamp it with ones identity, ones sadness, as one does so (and yet as it is coming is still outside- still always coming when one does not expect it), then one dissolves as Wegg into insomnia and bitterness. The entire world is against one. I breaks in. it takes. One must stop it. And yet that is a full time job!
For the true man of hatred caught in their own passions, caught in the Harmon jail or the nests of hell or the veneering table for that matter forcing the world to behave and to allow for ones own negativity, turns that horrid positive world, with it merry outside into a monster that must be destroyed. Or else its positivity will find in ones fund of memory little still vivacious sparks which will spin the world differently, and rework or re-throw it. The power of growth is everywhere and hatred knows it- and rail accordingly
He problem of course is how.
The alternative is however incredibly tricky. The alternative is to move the passion out, and move it off into the world
Here one hits a deep problem. One the face of it one ought t be able to move out and reach into other minds so long as one shares or can assume one shares within their pain. This sharing is carried then in that loyalty to the event. The event was never in ones own mind. We might therefore be very very easily bound up in the same story and caught in the same dilemma.
We are all colleagues in suffering.
We might therefore share a set of secrets or a set of memoirs together – and in sharing make the sadness real and a powerful full in the world.
The event therefore appears obey the answer – just so long f course as we all hold the event in the same way, The only other alternative is the pledge. That is we might in the name of something have sworn a thing and be held by that swearing.
But both of these moves face the same basic problem. Affects are naturally enriching. The negative affect, which has it spreads though mind and across a society attempt to pull everyone and everything down, and attempt to warp a view is always at a disadvantage. People naturally reject it or pull it into a thousand little hatreds. In order to maintain this power therefore, le bad new the drips need to be constant and perpetual. The need therefore to go on and on.
The event or the news of the event needs thereofe to, like a bad new story, to be endlessly rehearsed. If anything else breaks in, any other truth then this one is lost or changes or challenged. They cannot. The single event must therefore be turned into an endless grudge or drip of news or else pledge. If it is a pledge then like Wegg and Venus it ill need o be endlessly revisited and goaled over. We will need to know that we are brothers in suffering and need rituals to enforce or confirm that brotherhood.
Our world is not therefore something as it is negative to be left. It needs tales t enforce it – to hold it down.
It needs these tales even when the negative moves to the despond level – hatred. Hatred is as Spinoza noted (and Wegg knows0 the repose of the negative. In having you or acting as if I so, I turn the negate of my feelings into a powerful in false positive. All I need to do I cry is remove you from my life and things will be better, This cry in not only false – things are seldom helped this way, but also and even worst, the looking or the feeding of a hatred is likely to lead one along a thousand odd paths and problematic moves. One is likely therefore to look for immediate revenge in one vindictiveness. One does not thereofe act in anyway to remove any suffering at all. New simply responds or demands will no logic (Wegg does not realize that drive a too hard bargain and Mr Boffin will destroy the pair of them). What is more there is a problem wit the control here. These little hatreds will echo otherwise .That is everyone is locked in their own fantasies of revenge, there own moments, with very little unity.
Or else the only unity there is in the sudden flash- the mounting wave of anger that rips across the mob, making them act violently and suddenly (as all those hatings talk to each other)- and then is gone.
Hatred is notice- and will therefore tend to falter it it is not constantly whipped up, stokes and then immediately directed. Life otherwise has a worrying habit or re-asserting itself.
The man of hatred therefore has a difficult task.
Hatred must either be endlessly pledged (and the power of an event or set of events confirmed). Or else the hatred produced must be acted upon immediately and resolves. Or else the man of hating faces the problem that others in their private thoughts and in the starting pint in passion might respond to the negative in ways unrepeated and problematic to the paths of hatred the negative man wants all to follow.
Or to put it another way, the man of hatred sits upon the dilemma of the event. The event would naturally change what it is all the time – and yet it does so in the name of an actual; occasion. The hating man has then attempted o cease that occasion or at least one reading of it – that occasion at one time and has attempted then to bamboozle everyone and everything about and though it. They have then attempted to force the wider world to accept this reading, this time, this fidelity.
They are therefore true to the event as no one else is.
And yet this truth is then not as the event is itself. The event is given only little scrap or paper the will which bares the date and name of an event, and yet which might very easily not be values by others as their think it is. Far worse it might work against them and bring peoples it wants apart together. It might therefore allow myriads where there were one, and open lonely hearts into new friendships. In short it actually cannot be controlled – or can only be controlled in a maze of bullying and a powerhouse of information.
The hating human is then right to be paranoid, without a wealth of information or without a mob at their side they are effectively powerless. Te problem of the negative is hat it first move is always rather personal. IT marks the point you and I break of from the world and shout – no fair- we have lost something: or else it makers that very personal point when we rummage around in ourselves (or forced to realize) what we were and how we are falling off that feeling. That is how we are in the very act of loosing our power, an becoming less than we were.
The negative therefore starts in personal experience, a n experience which whether or not it is justified is always difficulty to communicate to others (to claim affinity with the positive the negative needs the entire rigmarole of the self). The power then of pain is only personal. It spin onto the between spaces it therefore needs to ensure that we are communicating not the power of the passion itself, but rather either the consequences of that power (hating) or the triggers that loss (the event), or the irrevocability of the feeling(we are all in the same pain). A truly powerful negative feeling will of course require all o these feeling to be effective and powerful. The problems, and an negative will require at least one…Either me must feel the same (and then in that feeling enforce each other), or else we must all be reacting to the same, or else we must al l want the same. Pain needs the pledge it needs the moment we all agree and must continue to agree in either one (or all ) these camps.
Without this unity it tends to fragment.
The Wegg’s of this world therefore need to enforce their power. They need to ensure that their take is the only one the only truth accept. They need to keep people scared or sad or angry, then need to ensure their power- and yet the people seep away.
There power o bully then runs up against he powers of the world itself. This power will tend to erode the isolation necessarily in the communication of negativity in two ways.
One the one hand they compromise the nature of the event Weggs think they have witnessed. Wegg has a piece of paper that ought to destroy the world of Boffin. And yet it is not Boffin’s world it ends up destroying by Wegg’s. The very logic that made their two wills, a actually also opened up to he chance third were three wills – three possible explication o events. The third hidden will, the event from on height then breaks into the public known will, and the private will of Wegg. All the pledges therefore he made, and all the dreams he made are rendered valueless as he never had the control over the event. Events slip away from our grasp, and become something else they enter into another story, and become a part of another tale.
N the other hand, he id not control the people he though he controlled. He though his power his mind was enough to keep Venus on side and Boffin down And yet removed from his face, his power is mitigated or even destroyed. Behind his back in the salons of their lives other alliances are forged. These alliance might be ones ht hatred of Wegg or having to deal with him, have opened up and used. He might therefore be doing unintentional good, but hat is no comfort for the man. He wants people to behave behind his back as they do to his face- a and yet it is the fate of the negative that his so not so Once anything undermining is actively prudent, is their as a vortex sucking in the positive, the positive the growing point of life have an immediate tendency to blossom again. Hey will even blossom where there were negatives before, an blossom far richer for being hacked back (Mr Venus get the girl).This then lads to a deep effect of the negative.
The negative is no always useless. Can have two intentional goods. On he one hand, and in spite o itself the negative is often a bolting paper for sadness. Hat is to stoke up a hatred into enfolds a whole sequence of feelings and moves, it comes all these are the same. Echoes of difference are then wrapped into the single loathing. To reject then this loathing- to reject this hatred can very easily be to reject a whole family of hatreds. One can therefore turn the negative into a spinning disc in which all members of a family of loathing are caught. T reject Wegg is therefore to free the Harmon estate from the e miser Harmon who had hung over it as a ghost.
On the other hand the negative in forcing over blown claims back forces the positive to rethrow its nature. The old Harmon will have been restricted. T condemned the Harmons, the mutual friend to a certain type of wealth, and gave no room beyond that wealth. The Wegg will (and the Boffin counter to it), then allowed this life to die. Once dead the wealth, the money could genuinely be founded on generosity and kindness (the Boffin’s b
Generosity). The Harmons might then enjoy it, and yet thy can enjoy it with a good heart and a new power – that is a new ability to do good by it.
The d evil or Wegg s therefore caught up in a world where unintentional goods stalk their actions or else spin of them. Good that endlessly enrich and help those who are not hating. Goods that then of course haunt the hating mind.
But then this still leaves the problem of the greedy hating man. shorn of their hatred what is such an individual but an ache for what they cannot be or what they have lost (necessarily). That is the entire enterprise of spinning out the negative into an affect is problematic. Why create more pain in the world? is it not bad enough? The answer of course is that in creating that pain one sets oneself up as a high persist of the black hole one is and had made. That is the answer to the riddle- the one who can solve the suffering. If then this pretence is stripped bare what is one left with but ones own ache- ones own feeling that the world is not just. One is then left with ones own bottomless tendencies and power to suck those who would listen in. One is left therefore not with anything valuable in itself so much as the endless eddy, the black hole in which the realities and powers of the world are personalized, and made o appear false and unjust. Wegg divorced fro his schemes becomes then the cry of hate upon the wind – the eddy that would such Boffin’s world into it is it could.
The problem is of course how to deal with such a n eddy? One cannot deal fairly with its bottomlessness- as any action will be seen as not enough. The only logic the only thing to do with a viper is throw them in a dust cart…
Wegg therefore discovers the problem of spinning put the negative affect. People will appear to agree with you. On can always reliable other hatred and stamp them with a single explication. One can always capture them in the event, to the strident demand that these are the same (and are their powerful) or the single burning hatred. This part is easy. The problem is though that one cannot predict where such a negative move leads. Ones power over it is limited to immediate action (and even this is unstable) or endlessly rehearsal of the reasons that got one here in the first place (and placing of feeling). the minute ones back is turned as Satan discovered before hand the world, the events one thought one knew and that everyone agreed about have a horrid tendency to slip away, and become something else – leaving one nothing but a dust cart…
