OT For those who think its good to pick out the negatives...

I suggest you read the following links...

Hopefully some of you will find these an eye opener and maybe have a bit more understanding of why I am the way I am.

Anyhow, for what its worth.. I think some people here would benefit greatly by giving some of these links a read and then assessing it to their state of mind with at least regards to the Blazers, but possibly your life as a whole.
I do find it comical that it has been suggested that I should be on meds when studies show negative mindsets are in much more need of help in the head.

Discuss or not, bash or not, its all good, ill figure out how to find something positive out of it!

 

Amen

 

It's hard to be analytical and positive at the same time.

 

Not really. One can be objective and also find positives. Analysis isn't a process of finding negative, it's about being non-bias towards positive and negative. I think and agree with Orion Bailey here that for me personally I would rather find the upsides to what is going on, it makes me feel better as a person... But so many spend so much time just looking for flaws, and honestly you can tell from their posts they are kinda downers.

 

It's hard to be a realist and positive at the same time.

[I don't really need green font, do I?]

 

I didn't say that it was. Orion is saying that he always tries to be positive, but if I'm trying to be purely analytical and realistic about what I think, then specifically looking for the positives isn't being objective.

 

Sorry but it's the TRUTH!!

 

meh!

Yeah, I've read a few articles on the opposite two, but if you do a widespread search, you will see the overwhelming majority of reports show its much better overall to be positive than negative.
I personally see this in the eye test every day too.
You can even see it in this forum.

 

Carry on.

 

Is that like a semi positive type response?

 

I think we as individual are in control of our thoughts/feelings/emotions. We've all been in situations where we've perceived an event completely different than a person standing right next to us. Whatever your spiritual/religious beliefs we all know there's a finite amount of time we're here on earth in our current form. So we come back to the age old question... why are we here? No one knows for sure but, in my experience, it's much more pleasant to go through life being flexible when plans change and not sweating the small stuff.

I'd rather focus on the positive, learn whatever I can from failures/mistakes, and enjoy the ride.

 

One notch up.

 

This is what the forum is coming to? Really?

It's just a forum. People are going criticize. You really should pay attention to yourself and let others communicate the way they want.

 

I agree. What's even more annoying than super positive or negative people, is how many times we have people pointing out they are upset the other side isn't doing what they want.

#forumfascismmatters

 

So just to be clear. suggesting some good positive read to the forum is a bad thing? Sounds like you could use a read or two...

People can communicate any way they want. I'm simply providing some info on how you can communicate in a positive way. Take it whichever way you like That's your call, a positive or a negative.

And also, starting this thread is a way of communicating is it not? And so in this you are contradicting yourself are you not? In saying I should let people communicate the way the want is telling me how I should have communicated this thread.
Is the negative force flowing through you?

 

Well, good luck with pushing your weak sauce agenda.

 

Not pushing anything. Offered up a suggestive read I think might help some people. Like I said, take it how you like. If you want to make it a negative, that's your right. Will that stance help you? Probably not....
