Are we just built to be negative?
Is negativity easier than positivity?
Maybe it’s just who I speak to (lol) although I doubt this due to most people being this way….have you noticed how people always want to tell you that bad thing that happened, or how someone else is dying?!
What happened to the good stuff? Has the world, society run out of the good in life?
Have we programmed ourselves over decades that the negative is more interesting, exciting even? Therefore better conversation?
Sensationalism over positivity? Is our good boring?
For me, I prefer the positive, tell me about your wins however little. I (we) all have the negative, our own negative whatever that is, do we really need to hear the rest of the world’s negatives?
The press for example, they do better off the negative than the positive…again have we programmed ourselves into this mindset?!
I believe in that old saying…”laughter is the best medicine”…ok laughter isn’t curing diseases, allowing people to walk again!
It is however cathartic, even if we are laughing at our silly little negatives…like when you put the fork in the bin along with the food scrapings, when you trip over the dog, do some spectacular gymnastics (which you thought your body was physically incapable of nowadays) and save yourself, while the dog just sits looking stunned.
Things like that seem negative but they aren’t, they are laughable, laughter is good, positive. That’s what we need more of.
When we meet each other and spend that meeting laughing, have you ever noticed we have a better connection with them?
Try to be positive….im sure it’s the way forward. Who and what have we become if we can’t be positive and maybe even laugh at ourselves?
What do you do to stay positive?
