Positive vs Negative. Is one better than the other?

[Ciggavelli]

So, I've lived my life in a very negative manner. I hate positivity, I hate positive music, I had positive TV. I hate that shyt. That "negative" way of living provides many insights. You get to learn what tragic situations offer you. There are many, many beautiful realizations after you "go through Hell."

However, after some life changing events late last year, I'm starting to think; What can positivity bring me?

Y'all that can relate to this, I'd appreciate your take on this "negative" vs. "positive" worldviews. I'm a complete noob when it comes to positivity. That may be hard to believe for some of you, but for the past 35 years, I've lived a "negative" life; thinking everything is terrible...existence is all about suffering, and all that type o shyt.

What does positivity grant you?

Postive grants you less stress...

Leave the world a better place than when you first came into it. Balance it with some bad shyt so that you can live longer and do more good.

But, what does that mean? How can you even define "better?" We, as humans, have no perspective on the issue. What is good and bad?

I haven't really tried this balance world view, so I can't comment on that, but being extremely negative and being extremely positive both give gifts. But is it worth it? I dunno if I'm making sense. But, I'm trying to see which side is better. That probably seems crazy to everybody, but, negativity brings about many powerful understandings. I wonder which is better, positivity or negativity. I know absolutely nothing about positivity....I'm skeptical

True. Everyone has their own definition of what is good. I just worry about affecting my immediate circle and try to encourage my friends and family to make the most out of their lives. I'm not a moral authority and neither is anyone else, so I don't really try to impose the views that I hold of what's right upon others.

Positivity is emotionally healthier.

Positivity is emotionally healthier.

It is, I mean, it physically is better. I can't deny that, but the negative life is fighting hard for me to stay negative. It's weird shyt, breh. :

It's easier to stay on the path that you're already accustomed to, but bad habits can be broken.

hmmm....Bad habits can be broken, for real. I've seen in it in my own life. But, I gotta confess, negative is winning in my mind right now. I never knew this shyt before (that I was negative). But once you accept who you are, shyt changes for you existentially.

Blah, blah blah.

What I meant to write was how do you convince yourself to be positive?

It usually starts through actions imo. Negativity and positivity are energies and it's harder to generate positive vibes if your not manifesting them initially.

I guess I'm at this "what the fukk is self destruction? Why is it a worse life than a positive one? We're always told to be positive, but I assumed everybody I talked to about this was wrong. Like, I really thought that way, and have now just begin to realize this. shyt's very existential for me right now.
