Recently, a Facebook acquaintance brought to my attention that I, as well as others, are very negative people. In fact, I am such a negative person that they had to put me on block because he couldn't handle seeing the things that I posted. I've burned my share of bridges (none are among my proud moments), but I'm thinking "wow I must have really done it this time". When pressed to find why this person felt this way, I found the reasoning amazing. I was deemed a negative person simply because I didn't agree with what the other person was saying. Well, if this is true, then I cannot deny that I'm "negative"... oops, my bad!
But then wouldn't everyone be a negative person? No two people will always agree. Could you imagine a world where our differences were negative things? I cannot imagine living in a world where such pessimism exists. Thank goodness, I actually see differences as something positive. Diversity gives us a chance to learn, to see things through someone else's eyes. For those who disagree, I'm not going to apologize for being "negative", but I welcome the chance for you to show me that I'm wrong.
