The power of good wishes enables disheartened ones to experience happiness. The usual reaction to the negativity in another person is to behave negatively too, i.e., to express negative qualities. This continues although this does not bring about the desired change in the other person. On the other hand, when there is the ability to see the positive qualities in the other person and have good wishes based on that it becomes a source of power to bring about a change to positivity. When we have the ability to give positive feelings and good wishes to the other person even when they are negative, they are able to get the power to change the negative to positive. We find that the change that we seek for in others is much more quicker and easier than if there is the emphasis just on negativity.
