Any good thing will be ruined by talking negatively about it; similarly bad thing will improve by speaking positive about it.

When someone is using negative speech, do not ruin your own speech.

If a man keeps on talking negatively and we scold him, what is that tantamount to? It is like kicking the door of a latrine because it smells bad; will kicking it make it smell good?

We’ win over ‘negative’ with ‘positive’.

One who speaks ‘completely’ negative creates karmic obstructions (antray) and ‘positive’ does not create any obstruction (antray).
