Get all negative people out of your life. They’re their own funeral.
-Ray Bradbury
Beware of negative people! They are all too often driven by their need to extinguish any spark of creativity visible in someone else. A burgeoning sign of creative exuberance, might threaten their own engrained, defeatist world-views – and their need to control.

Such gloomy individuals, superimpose their ever-available list of problems on the emerging ideas of others, dampening and stultifying creative spontaneity and hunches of possibilities, with their negative, uninvited admonitions and cautionary advice.
Your creative hunch is important: It is a glimpse of something whole that is worthy of focusing upon, analyzing – and trusting. After all, something as seemingly small as a hunch, could well be a new scientific theory, a medical cure, enchanting music, art, language – all manner of magnificent aesthetic productions. So never be crunched by negativity – never be crunched by any Drooma in your midst. Don’t allow THE NOISE OF NEGATIVITY to squelch your originality. Ignore those discouraging voices and FOLLOW YOUR HUNCH.
Keep your own intrinsic creative-glow always in your vision while, at the same time, hold all Drooma at bay, or, if possible, banished, completely, from your life. There is never a good reason for you to absorb the negativity of another.

Their vehicle, the Droomousine, might not have had a malfunctioning diddler – one that would not rev – and a celebrator that would not celebrate. And their chant might not have been…
