Dragos, There was a saying I heard while doing contract work years ago: “A good virus keeps it’s host happy.” Weigh that.

Interesting blog thank you, i found it using search words mind viruses because thats what it really is! My virus is a realtionshp virus , an impossibility to have a realtionship. anybody can think about something in regards to it?
“A mind virus illness manifests itself in the form of a constant, toxic activity. To cure the illness all we have to do is to put an end to the associated activity. Without it, the mind virus wonâ€™t get enough â€œfoodâ€ and will eventually die.”

what is the “associated activity” with relationships? )

Viruses are one way to bring attention to those terrible things in our minds indeed. And most of the time, we don’t realize it until we set out to cleanse and purify. It is such a difficult task to come to terms with. I think the concept of “not good enough” is one we can all identify with, although I have been blessed with a lot of self-confidence in recent years. Excellent post to follow would be experiments on how to get rid of various viruses and keep them at bay!!

Dragos, this has to be in the top 5 'Dragos Posts'. It was an exceptional piece of writing. I read it yesterday and then again today before putting a comment down, I didn't quite know how to express how I felt about it, so 'exceptional' seemed the most appropriate word. Thank you. .-= Steven Aitchison´s last blog ..How To Make A Quantum Leap =-.

Why is this such a big deal? If you look at it metaphorically, it makes sense.

Usually, I don’t go this way, but somehow this alive/non-alive discussion about viruses found me on a rather talkative disposition. So, in my humble opinion, every “thing” which is able to create, maintain and improve a mechanism by which it is reproducing itself is a living thing, as opposed to inorganic matter. A cell is a living thing, a bacteria is a living thing, a virus is a living thing, a tree or a flower are living things. I consider this ability to sustainably reproduce the same container or structure fundamental for the definition of “living”.

My mind viruses never completely disappear. It takes consistent work on an emotional level to keep them from taking over. Once committed to do the work it's impossible for it to get out of control. .-= Tess The Bold Life´s last blog ..Bold Solutions For A New World =-.

Dragos –

Wow – a very indepth exploration of how habitual thoughts can cause us suffering. I think the first step to curing a mind virus is to acknowledge it exists. Once recognized it is easier to disassociate from the thought(s) and not make them part of our identity. Simple awareness of unproductive thoughts is the starting point here. Great post!

Viruses have no metabolism therefore they aren’t ‘living’. They use hosts in order to keep the virus going by injecting it’s DNA into their cells.
