Also, what is this negative energy everyone speaks of? I hear mystics talking about it, however I wonder about its legitimacy. Are we talking about electrons?

I think it's more a psychological thing than an actual "energy" but I've noticed when someone I've lived with is in a bad mood it tends to transpire to everyone else. It could be that peoples negative attitudes makes me feel negative towards them? But I more or less just feel sick seeing people moan about others as though their **** don't stink.
What makes a person lose it? How do people end up exploding and doing something they would never consider doing before? Is it just them overreacting or is it a build up of other people's problems that get put on this person, causing them to react?
Here is an example from a
University website:
Quote:
In today's society some of the things that make people feel angry and stimulate aggressive thoughts are:
Disrespect: Of thoughts, beliefs, feelings and needs
Perceived threat: To the continuation, or success of something to which we are strongly committed, e.g. one's partner, university course, lifestyle
Paranoid beliefs: "They" did that on purpose, just to "wind me up". The best form of defence is to attack before they do.

It may be the case that it's perceived aggression and not actual. It appears to be from what I've read. But from an outsiders perspective (perhaps an over analytical one) people seem to be particularly unhappy with others for whatever reason. I think it possibly reflects what is going on in their own lives, what issues may be affecting them or stressing them out making them not handle situations as well as they could of. I certainly have been guilty of that before! That is what's be on my mind. Am I seeing it or is it my own problem?
Pedestrian, you're a psych major, what do you think about this?
