The Nears of Afar

When trouble comes to others, it seems so far away from us. But when trouble comes to us, it's as near as our thoughts. As our tears begin to fall, so does our wellbeing that leaves emptiness in our soul. What brings trouble to us? Could it be our negative thoughts, or could something be attracted to our negative thoughts, bringing trouble with them? I have discovered that indeed trouble is brought to us by the Nears from the Land of Afar; creatures whose only mission is to make us cry at the bidding of their master Lord Misanthropy. Besides the sheer joy they receive from watching our pain, they require the tears to live. Our tears are their food. It doesn't take a genius observing the world of tears being shed every day to realize they are gluttonous by nature. This is the story of three humans who dared to laugh in our world of pain and tears, bringing this arrogant insult to the attention of the great Lord. Dispatching Nears with the help of a Sneakeeze to end this affront, Lord Misanthropy was sure the result would be a tearful end to this act of insolence. What it hadn't counted on was the resolve of the humans to bring laughter back into our world. So be aware of your thoughts or you'll bring the Nears. BEWARE OF NEGATIVE THINKING BAD THOUGHTS THAT APPEAR FROM THE LAND OF AFAR YOU'LL DRAW THEM NEAR RUINING YOUR LIFE WITH TROUBLE SO CLEAR IN MISERABLE DISPAIR DROWNING IN FEARS WHAT NEXT WILL HAPPEN AT THE HANDS OF THE NEARS HELPLESSLY LOST IN YOUR VEIL OF TEARS
