I intentionally don't watch or read the news. Why? Because all I've ever seen is negative stuff. I mentioned this before, but now I want to posit a question: Why is it always negative?
Everywhere I look, and some of my friends and family always bombard me with negative news. Why can't they ever tell me something positive? What is it about the human species that it's so obsessive about the negative things? Do we just like complaining? Does it make us feel better to constantly spout negativity to others? I think people think so, but I beg to differ. Spouting the negativity means you're focused on the negativity. Focusing on the negativity makes you negative. Even if you spout it off, you're attempting to make another person negative, even if you don't realize (and I think a lot of us don't). We need to let the negativity die and become more positive. Focus on the good things. Go breathe some fresh air, or bake something and smell that. Watch or read something that truly makes you feel better. Surround yourself with positivity. You'll feel better, and that's the first step to creating a positive force for the world.
