Are you a black hole?

I've heard people say that we have to deflect the negative comments and attitudes that come our way.  I disagree.  Instead, we need to be strong enough to absorb that negative energy.  Absorb it like a black hole absorbs light so that it never gets back out.

Be a mirror for the positive things in life.  Reflect the positive things everywhere that you go.

Likewise, be a black hole for the negative things.  Absorb any negativity that gets near you and don't spew it back out into the world.
