Negative versus Positive

I guess it's because people would rather rant about bad stuff than the good stuff, don't you think? People would like to give their opinion on why this is wrong and why that was uncalled for. People want others to know what they're thinking about the issue. Some do it because it's like them saying "I told you so" or "I knew this was going to happen". Some do it because they want people to know that they are knowledgeable in the topic or to just simply have a discussion. When it's about good news, no one will contest it's goodness, no one will find a different angle on the situation. Everyone accepts it's good news. There's no discussion there, so there aren't any powerful and intense responses. For sure people know these good news and are very much elated over it, but there's just no discussion there. Good news tend to relax people too.

That`s very true. It`s like if the news reporters hear someone being killed or robbed or raped, its a great story! Not saying they shouldnt report that. If it helps getting the person responsible behind bars, then go for it. But like you said, when it comes to good wonderful news, it does feel like it`s being take for granted. People sometimes just "Meh" at it. I`m all for good news. As much as we cant stop the bad news. Just the way of life, I guess.

Dear friend, I had heard lots of positive news, but at times those negative news makes much impact on people like fear, disgrace may be all those negative feelings too. I feel those positive news and positive talking could help a lot in getting the positive part of life.

Do you think anyone could rain on my parade??? It's only Liquid Sunshine!!! We all have the power to choose of what we value in life. Aren't the good, happy, joyful things much more important?? All the troubles work out somehow. In the meantime, see all the wonderful things all around us. Being Happy is so Easy!! It is merely a Choice!!

Maybe people follow the word, too good to be true and dont want to face the risk of being disappointed and such hence they keep good news in reserve and give it a doubt to protect from disappointment. It back to method of thinking whether the person is positive or negative or whether the person easy to give up or strive to improve things and such.Sometime is less tiring to accept bad news rather then going after good news and such.Good and bad news depends on the person perception and environment.Sometime bad news can be blessing in disguise.

I used to be positive everyday even there are challenges in my life I will welcome it positively because I believe there is a purpose in every challenge I had. I also believe that when you have positive feeling you will attract positive circumstance people and events but if you are in a negative feeling you will attract negative circumstance people and events. Every time you respond in watching negative news the more negative will come to your life.

I used to be an optimist, and most of the time I am pretty well at peace with where I am. I do not listen to the news, it is pretty down. I enjoy good news when I hear it, and I generally do believe things will work out for the best.

I try not to dwell on anything, but to focus on positive things and the future. Learn from yesterday, live for today and plan for tomorrow. I have always thought that it is disturbing that so many negative things are portrayed in the news. I firmly believe that is the main reason why so many people do so many bad things....to get publicly noticed. I think that if the media focused more on postive stories, and only shed a brief light on the bad things, there would be more people striving to do good for recognition.

I use to put a great deal of effort to bad news but found that there is no life unless we react stronger to good news. Hearing good news gives us a sense of hope, hearing bad news gives us a sense of sadness and sadness that can lead to depression. So I try to be overly excited these day with good news, although I currently do not have a whole lot of good news I do concentrate on hoping and wishing for it. I have learned to simply await for the bad new and continue to say to myself, this too shall pass.

I look forward to good news, not bad-One of the many reasons why I do not watch the news(it is all murder this, murder that/instead of birth here, birth there....). My theory is that "they" want people to be negative-because a negative society means more business for 'them'(selling medication for depression, health care for diseases, people buying 'junk' to feel better, etc etc...) I am quite happy with just a simple roof over my head, a bed, and food and water- I don't really need that much more to be happy.. :D

You are right most of the news on TV and in the papers is bad news. And is seems as if the world has more bad than good news. We live in a world of opposites. Good and bad, black and white, up and down.- We wouldn't enjoy something good without knowing about the bad.- But there is also the fact that we do not know if the thing we thought was bad ends up to be good.- Scientists found that we see what we look for.- So we should all look for the good, the positive the things we really, really love. You are right this will bring us the good we are looking for. Unfortunately,most of us grew up with hearing don't do this, don't do that, you can get hurt, I am worrying about you, I hope you get through this o.k. etc. This conditioning has to be overcome by many people before they are able to enjoy the good at all times.
