Why does negativity exist?

[Lumberg]

All the opposites shite is the cop out answer.

vixen you just proved my point. the negativity is what gives you the motivation to change. if the negativity wasn't there there would be nothing to change and therefore no motivation

I would venture to say the all the great accomplishments and people of the world were created by a reaction against negativity. The Great Wall of China was erected to keep the barbarians out. Most great people are motivated by a desire to change how things are. That means in their minds something is wrong with the way things are and therefore something must be changed.

I watched a beloved friend of mine die a few weeks ago from cancer.

John did not have a choice to get motivated to make himself well again. He was going to die NO matter what meds, or positive healing power he had within himself. He went thru HELL too!

Did he feel sorry for himself and hate the world? Nope, his choice was to live every LAST second with his family and loved ones LAUGHING AND LOVING each moment til he died.

He inspired me, even in death, with his last choice.

Was he miserable at one point and did he change?

Or was it his nature to love and laugh every moment?

I watched a 200 lb, Greek God dwindle down to 125 lbs. ( Talk about strength, huh?)

He NEVER bitched once to his family and friends when we were around him, and trust me, we were around allll the time!


It was his nature NOT to mourn ANY shitty hand dealt to him in life. He'd not allow any terror stop him from doing what he loved best: Laugh and love freely with his family and friends.

Yeah, misery came when it dawned on him he may not be able to talk anymore. He was getting far too weak. His last words to me were, " Thanks for coming into my life. Please take care of Lilly for me. I love you".

I miss him...God, I miss him!

Negativity has to exist if positivity exists.
Checks and balances.
Conservation of energy.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

If you can feel good, then you have to feel bad.

The ying and the yang.

Positive Post on a battery can not provide energy with a negative post or a ground.

Ying Yang

salt pepper

checks balances

It all works together for good depending on your perspective and approach.

If there were no negative there could exist no positive.

I've noticed that about those with cancer. The ones I've known (3) are the most positive and grateful people around. I think that the reason is that if you know you've got xx months to live that there's no point bitching about useless things...

Denial or Refusal
To accept things; life as they are.

I believe that what makes people negative!

 

[Ashamed]

it's usually a result of underlying anxiety or depression.
