No evidence. I just choose to live with a positive world view and not like every day is doom. I face problems head-on when they appear and I don't collect sorrows in advance. But you do you. I know my approach is hard for most people.
facing problems "head-on" doesn't mean you can't anticipate problems that are likely to arise. in fact, deliberately ignoring clear indications of future problems is dumb. this approach is literally why climate change has become a problem over the last several decades.
lastly, accusing people of "collecting sorrows" for calling out these likely future problems doesn't mean they're collecting sorrows, it's just you trying to validate your "positivity-only" approach
I definitely try to anticipate future issues as well as I can, but I'm doing it from a place of positivity, not negativity. Negativity is what's causing many of the problems be face. Positivity searches for solutions to those problems.
everyone knows the solution to the country's money problems--tax the 1%. but it's not happening, and the problem is getting worse every year. i'm glad you can feel positive about that
Not feeling positive about that, but I still choose a positive outlook on life. You should, too.
do you identify with any of the people in the article? if you do; how so?
